Being a military kid, he had the honor of living in many states in the US along with Japan and Italy. Upon his dad's retirement from the US Airforce, he lived in Conway, SC until he joined the United States Navy at the age of 17.

He loved spending time with his siblings, their families, his friends, camping, tasty food, any kind of fishing and especially all animals. Throughout his 59 years of life there were many dogs and a few cats that had the honor of being his fur children.
