Fred was the first in his family to specialize in cobbling. Born in Lebanon, he immigrated to the U.S. in 1957 in order to work and take advantage of "the land of opportunity." While his father was a taxi driver, Fred developed a unique talent for cobbling. When he arrived in Peoria, it was a booming industrial town with a large population of Lebanese immigrants. Initially he was doing work for various shoe repair shops before he eventually found a steady job at the old Bergner's department store in downtown Peoria.
