Art joined the U.S. Army and served honorably during the Korean War. He received several medals for his service and was proud to be a veteran.  Art worked in engineering for Martin Marietta in Orlando before becoming the first Facilities Manager in Orange County, Florida’s history.

As an accomplished artist, he was involved in many art clubs throughout the greater Ocala area. Art won several awards over the years from various art competitions.
