He then attended Skyline Community College and received his Bachelors of Arts Degree in Phycology from San Jose State University in 1988. His passions from a young age were many including soccer where he worked up in ranks to play semi-professional soccer. He was even asked to go to train in Germany by one of his coaches, but he chose not to go because he just began his relationship with Rosie. Up until recently he would watch the Premier League games when he could catch a match. His favorite Premier team was Manchester City, but his favorite World Cup team was always Germany because they played his style of “two-touch soccer”. His other passion was music, where he started his own business called Studio1 as a music studio engineer. He had an exceptional ear for music (even though he was self-taught on guitar and piano). He was known for his excellent Mastering skills He always took care of his friends like they were family. He loved them in his own quiet way.
