He was brought up Catholic and educated at St. Judes Elementary school and later at Mary Help of Christians in Tampa. He graduated from Boca Ciega High School in Gulfport, FL. He became a teacher of the Transcendental Meditation Technique, which was a passion for him. He was very athletic and known for his gentlemanly nature on the basketball and tennis court. He started his construction career in Illinois under the tutelage of his brother-in-law, Larry Kemp. He was an officer on the police force in West Virginia. He came to the High Country in 1995, to build on Heavenly Mountain. When projects were finished there, he started his own construction company, Teylord Builders. He had the opportunity to help create beautiful living space for his clients, which gave him much joy. He was also an avid student of Joytish, an East Indian form of Astrology.
