Teddy graduated from Stonewall Jackson High School in Haymarket, in 1987.

It was while playing soccer together at Radford, that Teddy and his wife Dee Dee met. Upon returning to Northern Virginia after college, Teddy continued to work at his family’s company, Pro-Type Industries, where he worked throughout high school and college.

Teddy was an avid sports enthusiast, being a steadfast fan of the Washington Commanders and Washington Capitals.

Teddy loved to cook for his family and friends, everything from Sunday football meals to Christmas morning breakfast. He loved music, especially live music.
