He studied at Westminster School in Simsbury, CT and graduated from Montclair High School. He attended Essex County, NJ Community College, and Forsyth County NC Technical College where he completed his Certification in Industrial Welding.

His family is comforted that he spent this Thanksgiving joyfully with his large extended family in Seabrook Island, SC. He will be missed by many friends and family across the country.
