He went to John Jay College of Criminal Justice for two years. He married in 1980 to Diane Mary Messina from Rosedale, New York. They have three children—Joseph, Stephanie, and Samantha. He owned and ran a bakery supply company for twenty-seven years. He always dabbled in comedy and enjoys all sports competition. He is active in church and taught catechism and the head usher at the 8 a.m. mass. He is currently living in Valley Stream, New York, for thirty years. He’s still working for another bakery supply company (intercounty for ten years). He loves to work with others and helps out in his daughter’s coffee house. He runs the open-mic nights twice a month and helps with whatever is needed. He has a website with top open-mic night performers in an effort to get them gigs in clubs, bars, and restaurants. All proceeds go to the performers. He is an avid sports fan of the Mets, Jets, Rangers, and Knicks. Early on, he was always interested in his family history. As a child, his mother told him this incredible story, which he is sharing with you. Most of it is totally true—nonfiction. However, there are parts that are fiction or at least the characters are ficticious. It took him five years to complete this book. He works full time, so he only wrote when he had spare time, which wasn’t much.view less
