He was a high school player and wrestler for Pio Nono in St. Francis, Wisconsin, and was among the first alumni inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at the school's successor, St. Thomas More High School.[1]
He played college football at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin, declining more attractive offers because Carthage was closer to his widowed mother's home in Milwaukee.[2][3] He died from cancer in 2015.[4]
