He graduated from Massena High School in 1966, and then went to work at Alcoa smelting, and then went to work at General Electric where he was drafted for the Vietnam war. For his distinguished service, he received the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, and The Expert Combat Infantryman's Badge. Upon his return, he continued his career at General Electric for 38 years.
