He grew up in Brooklyn, New York, in the Norwegian section. Tall and handsome, he was well liked, friendly and kind. After graduating High School, he attended Embry Riddle University, where he earned his bachelors and eventually masters degrees, and later taught.
He was for a while, a private pilot, and enjoyed his flying. He was well respected and many of his students and fellow pilots would call him and ask for his educated opinion on flying. He was very knowledgeable in this. When returning from his sisters wedding in New York, he had a car accident in West Virginia, which left him paralyzed from the mid chest down. He was not expected to survive the evening, and surprised everyone when he did. He went through therapy and within a year, he returned to Embry Riddle, where he once again taught flying. He spent the remainder of his years in a constant battle with his health. He suffered many strokes, and eventually had to have both of his legs surgically removed. He was brave and never complained. His life was dedicated to his religion.
