He was born in Katerini Greece on January 16, 1954.  He came to the united states 1969 as a small boy.  He worked hard and graduated from Upper Darby High School.  While there he pursued his passion for soccer.  He played for the high school team and helped them win the Nationals competition.  Even after that triumph, he continued to be an avid soccer fan.  It was a major part of him throughout his whole life.   After High school he became a sandblaster and painter.
