He taught CPR and some computer classes at AACC. He owned his own computer repair and retail store, worked for the Salvation Army briefly, and also for Birthright of Annapolis. He loved music and played guitar, had a love/hate relationship with golf, loved to watch football, college basketball, and of course the Baltimore Orioles. He loved his grandkids, Rebekka, Alex, Ashleigh, Kyle, Morgan, and Taylor with all his heart and would do anything for them.
