He attended Mergenthaler Vocational Technical High School before joining the military. Dennis served his country with honor as a Quartermaster in the US Navy for six years. His commitment to service continued as he worked for the Baltimore City Police Department and fulfilled the role of Military Policeman in the US Army. He dedicated many years of his life to the military, ultimately retiring as a Sergeant First Class in 1990.

After retiring from the military, Dennis continued to contribute to his community by working security at Fort Meade and Martin State Airport. This was a testament to his enduring spirit of vigilance and service.

Outside of his professional life, Dennis found joy in various hobbies. He loved to fish, appreciating the tranquility that came with the activity. He also enjoyed country line dancing and karaoke, activities that brought him happiness and spirited connections with others. One of his most cherished practices was writing poems to his beloved wife, Glenda, on their anniversaries. This romantic gesture highlighted the deep love and affection he had for her.
