He was born on August 16, 1958 in Charleston, South Carolina. He was a 1976 graduate of Foley High School. Gus completed nursing school at Mobile College, and he served as an emergency room nurse at Mobile Infirmary in Mobile, Alabama and South Baldwin Hospital in Foley, Alabama.

Gus was well known for his love of music and his amazing talent as a guitarist. His Gulf Coast friends will remember Gus playing in bands and performing all along the Eastern Shore and in Mobile, through the 1970s and 1980s. He continued his love of music and performed his whole life. It was truly breathtaking to listen to him play.
