He never would have imagined in his youth that he would get to cheer on his Brother in Law and watch him become a World Series winner. He truly loved to watch him pitch. He was also passionate about music, playing in his younger days and listening in his older days. He often would joke that he would see more concerts and shows in a year than most people would see in a lifetime, always with his constant companion Ann by his side.

He enjoyed collecting Funko Pops, Star Wars Memorabilia and playing video games with his nephew Ryder. He has been employed for the last 7 years by Evolution E-Cycling, LLC located on Pittsburgh's Southside, where he managed the IT Asset Refurbishment and Remarketing Branch, playing an instrumental role in getting the company up and running off the ground.
