He was a jack of all trades, but spent most of his life in construction and the restaurant business.

He created his own international radio station in the early 2000's and loved to play music, interview guests, and crank call local businesses. He excelled at beating everyone around him at trivia when he wasn't busy being ornery. He was always willing to give the shirt off his back for both friends and strangers alike and will be greatly missed by many.
