He attended the Grand Island School of Business for one year before enlisting in the U. S. Navy where he was introduced to computers which were beginning to be integrated into communications. He served in Norfolk VA, on Guam, and aboard the U.S.S. Constellation. His interest in computers would become part of his work throughout his future. After the Navy he was employed by Wray M.
