While attending the University of Notre Dame on a physics scholarship, he became the Light-Heavyweight Boxing Champion. He continued to develop his boxing skills and knowledge of ‘the-sweet-science’ by sparring in the fight gyms of Santa Monica and Los Angeles for a ‘dollar-a-round,’ for as many as 30-40 rounds a week for several years. Growing up in Los Angeles during the ‘jazz years,’ he frequently visited the many jazz venues of LA and came to love the music and value its messengers, both as artists and as very witty company. After seven years of amateur boxing, he replaced its excitement and electricity for the adventure and beauty of sailing. For over 30 years he sailed in Southern California waters and then spent 7 years cruising the Mexican Riviera and the Caribbean’s Windward and Leeward Antilles. His first book, Currents Beneath the Sea was written while living on his sailboat in Puerto Vallarta and Zihuatanejo. It is a blend of factual/fiction that parallels some of his own experiences and adventures in both the sailing and pugilistic worlds.ver menos
