He attended Salisbury University and continued on to Elon College where he graduated with a degree in Business Administration.

In any position that followed he was loved by his peers and coworkers.
He was a great family man and a loving father. He married Linda Brader in August of 1987 and the couple had three children together; Emily, Christopher, and Brady. In September of 2014 he married Kimberly Bateman Dashiell and gained two more children; Candace and Sarah.
He enjoyed skiing, boating around the Eastern Shore, surfing at Assateague, fishing on the Nanticoke, deer hunting, and bragging about his kids and grandchildren.
