He attended St. John the Evangelist Catholic School in Clinton, MD and Bishop McNamara High School in Forestville, MD where he made friendships that he maintained throughout his life.

Because of his love for the beach, he also spent many summers in Ocean City, MD. He was a music lover with a preference for rock and heavy metal and attended many concerts with his friends. He also loved all things related to Halloween and enjoyed volunteering his time at local haunted houses and attending horror conventions. He enjoyed sports – especially football and was a loyal Washington Commanders fan. He also liked old movies and reading biographies and historical books about Native American history and culture. His all-time favorite foods were Ledo's pizza and crabs.
