Al proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps before beginning a 20 year career with the Delaware State Police, where he served from May1, 1969 to May 1, 1989. He was stationed at Troop 1 Penny Hill, Troop 2 State Road and Headquarters Dover. He served in both the Traffic and Criminal Divisions and was a Public Information Officer (P.I.O.) and the Legal Officer for the Division. During his career, he went on to attain his masters degree in Political Science at West Chester University. He later attainted his Juris Doctorate degree from Northern Virginia Law School in 1990 and was admitted to the Washington, DC and Virginia Bars.
Al enjoyed working for several years in Washington, DC and later accepted a position in Wilmington, Delaware with Morris James, LLP as their Personal Injury Group Manager.

Al was a music aficionado. He was the lead vocalist and piano player with several bands over the years, including Society's Child, Two Plus Two, and Second Chance. He could often be found playing the piano and singing to his grandchildren, who were the light of his life.
Al had a passion for gardening. He enjoyed many years working in the yard at his summer home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Anyone who had the pleasure of visiting knows of the meticulously manicured yard, but also knows he leaves behind a garage filled with junk no one knows what to do with.
Al also enjoyed jogging and cross country running competitions with his children, but not when they beat him.
