He was a member of the rock band called "The Agents" and was proud to be an Eagle Scout and a member of Order of the Arrow. In his younger years, he was a member of the Indian Guides. While living in New Milford, Connecticut, he was active in New Milford United Methodist Church as a trustee, a board member of United Way and loved building houses through Habitat for Humanity.
