He was a proud graduate of Drexel Institute of Technology and McGill University. He enlisted in the US Army from 1951 to 1957 and served in Korea with the Army Security Agency.
He was hired by Link-Belt Ltd in Montreal, was promoted to District Manager in Winnipeg and later to Project Manager in Toronto.
