He was adopted within a week of his birth by the Berkowitz family, who rearranged the young boy's first and second names. He was of an above-average intelligence, and his parents were generally good to him; he was especially close to his mother. However, at an early age he withdrew from most activities, and became fascinated with fire, to the point of pyromania. In his youth he claimed to have set over 1,400 small fires. His adoptive mother died in 1966, which caused problems at home that lead to him withdrawing further. At eighteen he joined the army, where he served more or less without incident for three years. Leaving in 1974 he returned to New York, where he made contact with his birth mother, who he had been told died giving birth to him, and who informed him of the nature of his parentage, a truth that he did not like.
