About Me
78% Complete Bio
I was born in Portland, OR and have lived in Oregon, Washington, California and New York. I still consider myself an Oregon boy, even though I have not been a resident since 1971. I currently reside in upstate New York, after 22 years in NYC (the last 15 in Brooklyn).
I am an avid skier and until this year (shoulder injury) have played baseball for various Men's Senior Baseball League teams.
