An Associate Director, he was employed as a fixed-income analyst for Sandler O'Neill & Partners.

He graduated from Frederick High School, Frederick, Maryland where he played football and made it to the regionals in wrestling. Known for his "estimable talents" and "steely resolves", he demonstrated the same attributes as his hero, Carl Ripken, Jr.

His buddies gave him his idol's nickname - the Iron Man.

While his favorite athlete was Carl Ripken, Jr., he was a fan of the Baltimore Orioles, the Ravens, and the Washington Redskins.

A deeply religious man, he attended the Frederick Church of the Brethren where he taught Sunday School classes.

He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University earning a dual degree in business and economics.

In his honor his parents, Alan Patrick, Sr. "Pat" and Sharon (Moss) Linton helped to create the Alan P. Linton, Jr. Emergency Shelter in Frederick, set up a scholarship in his name for business students at Frederick Community College, and established an endowment fund at the Frederick Church of the Brethren.
