He lived nearly his entire life in Milwaukee, attending St. Rose's Catholic School and then graduating from Saint Johns Cathedral High School in 1927. He worked as a fireman on the Milwaukee Railroad and was a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers labor union. He also served three years in the Wisconsin National Guard after graduating from high school.[1]
