Graduate of Polytechnic High School he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps and helped turn the wild lands of Northern California into state parks.

A builder of ships during the war he was not allowed to enlist along with his brothers Melvin and Sheldon. After the war he went to work in the candy and tobacco wholesale distribution business and was liked and respected by his coworkers and customers in the City and along the western peninsula.
