Born in San Diego in 1923, he attended San Diego High School.[1] In the fall of 1941, he enrolled at Santa Ana Junior College and played for the football team at the end position.[2] During World War II, he served in the United States Marine Corps, participating in the Battle of Okinawa and the Occupation of Japan. He was also a judo and bayonet instructor for the Marines.[3]
