He was born on January 29th,1965 in Ohio and lived most of his early life in Terre Haute, Indiana. He participated in the Boys Club and YMCA basketball and little league baseball. 

After moving to Texas and marrying Christine Betters, his daughter Alex was born and later his son Anthony. He was a devoted father to his children. Actively involved in their school functions and sports. He had a heart of gold, putting others before himself from family to a person on the street. No one was a stranger to him, and he was always willing to give up his time to help others.

He moved back to Terre Haute several years later and began painting for D. Kiger Painting, working for his Uncle Don. He bought a house that was his pride and joy that he was renovating. He had hopes to move back to Texas soon to be close to his children.
