He was born in Philadelphia in 1958, to Lorraine (nee Long) and Charles Cesari. Byron graduated from Washington High School, before studying at Temple University, where he obtained his Vocational Technical II Certification in Automotive Instruction. 

Byron started his career in the automotive industry at his father’s garage, Chuck’s Auto, where he was affectionately known as “One of Chuckie’s boys“, then moved on to be an automotive mechanic at Faulkner, where he was an ASE Master Automobile Technician. He then transitioned to Automotive Instructor at Swenson Arts and Tech High School and ended his career, retiring from Bucks County Technical High School. 

In his early years, Byron had a deep passion for adventure and athletics. He actively participated in gymnastics, swimming, scuba diving, mountain climbing, camping, cave exploration, and motocross, and was an exceptional skier. Later, he met and married Joyce, and together they welcomed their daughter, Arielia. As a family, they embraced a love for travel, exploring destinations both domestically and internationally.
