An avid ice hockey fan, he became an honor society member at Mount Assumption Institute high school and a member of the school's wrestling and golf teams.

He enrolled at the State University of New York (SUNY) and worked at a local restaurant while taking courses which would get him into law school. His interests in communications happened when he became a member of the school's Forensics Union, which is competitive debating. The debate team brought out his ability to argue, to which he excelled. His team would capture the New York Championships while at SUNY. He then switched his major to Mass Communication Communications and worked part-time at the college radio station and then the campus television studio.
He married that summer and was offered an intership at the local NBC affliate [[Wikipedia:WPTZ|WPTZ]] in [[Wikipedia:Plattsburgh, New York|Plattsburgh, New York]]. He later graduated and received a degree in Mass Communications.
