His early life was spent in Burlington, where he graduated from Burlington High School, Class of 1965. He graduated from UW Madison in 1970 and in 1971 completed a pharmacy internship at Haupers Drug Store in Union Grove, Wisconsin.

He was an accomplished tennis player and avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and hiking with family and motorcycle trips.
