He was educated in the Greenwich Public Schools, class of 1977. After high school, he worked for General Reassurance, followed by GTE in Stamford, working in the mail room and raising his family in Norwalk, CT until 1988. He relocated to the Dallas, TX area with GTE, staying on with Verizon Services after the merger. He retired from Verizon in 2006, and spent the last four years serving in a variety of positions. He loved helping out with his grandsons, as well as being a "Santa" for a portrait studio that catered to families and their pets. For the past year he was employed by Fujitsu, working again, in the mail room, a position he loved as he was able to connect with all of his co-workers.
