He was born in Newton, Massachusetts, in 1947 to Gordon L. and Priscilla E. Kiefer. He grew you in Auburn, New York, with his brother Kevin and sister Jacqui.

After graduating from Mexico Academy in upstate New York, he enlisted in the Navy and served from 1965 to 1968 on the hospital ship The Sanctuary.
