I was born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens, NY. My father served as a merchant marine during World War 2. When my brother and I were young he would tell us stories about the war and we loved to hear them. Eventually, I also decided to join the military and became a construction officer in the Corp of Engineers. I built roads, bridges and buildings throughout Central and South America. In 1998 I was honorably discharged as a captain.
