Born in 1957 in Stamford, Connecticut, USA. Moved to Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil at the age of four and lived there until the age of six, while
his father was South American Editor of Look Magazine. Moved back to
New York, then on to Paris, France for five years, while his father was
European Editor of Look. From there to Boulder, Colorado and Los
Angeles, California for high school. University at UC Santa Cruz, and
UCLA. Bachelor of Arts in History (with specialization in Intellectual
History and Languages).
Also played soccer at both places, and went on to Sweden after graduation to try to play professionally. Spent three months with Djurgarden, Swedish First Division, then two months with Tennis Borussia Berlin, German Second Division, before deciding that was not for him. Moved to a tiny Greek island called Astypalea (1981) for a year and half. From there moved to Paris, and has been here ever since.
He used to be fluent in seven languages, English, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Swedish, Greek, but now some of them need work. Has traveled extensively: most of Europe, the US, South America, the Middle East.
