Art was a graduate of Holy Saviour School, and Bishop Kenrick High School class of 1962. During his educational career, Art attended Saint Joseph’s University where he would receive his undergraduate degree in history, and would finalize his education at Temple University with a Masters Degree in Education. Art worked for over 30 years for The Delaware County Intermediate Unit, where he taught special education, on the high school level. Also, he worked part time for Sacred Heart Hospital as a pharmacy tech. Art was also devoted to his faith and community, he was a dedicated parishioner of the SS. Cosmas & Damian Church in Conshohocken, as well as Holy Saviour Church, in Norristown. He dedicated his time to his community and church and was involved in The Holy Name Society. He dedicated countless hours at the SS. Cosmas & Damian Church feast every year, was a member of the Cursillo church meeting group, served as a Eucharistic Minister, and also taught CCD classes for many years.

In his spare time, he enjoyed spending time with his wife on the Queen Street Beach in Cape May, NJ and their home in the Villas. Art also became very well-known in the Cape May community and would frequent local restaurants such as Cucina Rosa where he was known and loved by all. He enjoyed running and he ran in races in Cape May, Cape May Point, the Broad Street Run, the Philadelphia Distance Run, as well as completing the Marine Corp Marathon in Washington, DC at the age of 47.
