Freddie attended Kindergarten in Santa Monica then the family moved to Ventura where he attended May Henning Elementary, Cabrillo Jr. High, Ventura High and Ventura College.

After his career in law enforcement he went to work for the County of Ventura Human Services Agency until he retired in 2006 to care for the love of his life Marsha Ann. Freddie loved the Lord and was a loving soul with a great big heart. His biggest passion was his family. He enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, long trips in his motor home, live music and he loved singing gospel music. He loved TV, watching westerns and the cooking channel. He loved, playing darts, playing poker and his Monday Night Football Club. He was a jack-of-all-trades and master of many.
