He grew up in Yonkers and graduated from Gorton High School in 1941. After high school he joined the Navy and attended Naval Air Cadet training at the University of Tennessee at Martin where he met his future wife Millie Faye Butler. Herb became a Machinists Mate and served the rest of his active duty in the South Pacific.

After they were married, Herb attended Junior College in Mohawk, New York and Millie taught Junior High at Whitesboro Central School in Whitesboro.

Then after a brief stay at Herb's parents home in Yonkers, New York, they moved to White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia where Herb was the Catering Manager for the Greenbrier Resort. After this, they moved to Tucson, Arizona, where Herb was the Catering Manager for the Santa Rita Hotel. Their first child was born when they were in Tucson.
After beginning a family, which ultimately consisted of one son and two daughters, Herb was tired of the odd hours in hotel management so they moved to Southern California where Herb became a Fire Insurance Adjuster. Herb worked for the National American Insurance Company which was a subsidiary of Ahmanson, and then the Ohio Farmers Insurance Company which eventually became known as Westfield Insurance Company. Herb worked his way up to West Coast Claims Supervisor by the time he retired.
