He lived directly across from Offerman Stadium, where he became a bat boy for the Buffalo Bisons in his early teens. His experience with the Bisons cultivated a love for baseball which continued throughout his life. At 16 years old, Fred began his career in the apparel industry for M. Wile and Co. in Buffalo. He held many positions, starting as a sweeper then working his way up to becoming Vice President of manufacturing and planning. While assigned in Baltimore, Fred discovered an affinity for thoroughbred race horses. He lived down the road from the Pimlico Race Track and decided to get into the horse racing circle.
