He began his career as a messenger for a small customs brokerage and freight forwarder in Baltimore before joining Kuehne+Nagel as an import manager. He advanced to the position of corporate vice president, which he held for 34 years until his retirement in 2015. He deeply loved his family and worked hard to provide them with all the opportunities they could wish for. He is preceded in death by his parents; brother Jeffrey; and ex-wife Astrid.
