He lived downstairs from [[Lauren Bacall]] and built orange-crate racers in Washington Square Park with [[Keith Carradine|Keith]] and [[David Carradine]]. He is a graduate of Columbia College, with a degree in sociology, but his real education came much earlier at The [[City and Country School]] where, as he is fond of saying, “I learned all the important lessons that would stay with me for life.”

Before turning to writing full-time, he enjoyed successful careers in the New York City public school system, where he holds licenses in both elementary and early childhood education, and in the music business, where he worked for [[Elektra Records]] and [[Sony Music|CBS Records]]. He was the first person in the US to write about [[Elton John]] and to predict his success. As a consequence, he, along with both John and his lyricist, Bernie Taupin, became friends. Writing for [[Cash Box]] Magazine, he also predicted the successes of such bands as [[Santana (band)|Santana]], [[Roxy Music]], the [[Jimi Hendrix Experience]], [[David Bowie]] and [[The Who]].
