I was born in Connecticut when there were 49 states. I resembled a chicken. Shortly after I said “when I grow up, I want to be Howard Cosell,” my parents gave me a microphone for my 6th birthday.

My Dad is Gary. My Mom is Bunni. They are nice people who make friends easily, but don’t argue politics with them. They’ve been married for 55 years and currently reside in Florida, where they enjoy music, theater, and sports, and tolerate the politics.

My brother is Barry. He is an incredibly talented musical composer, arranger, conductor and performer. He is married to Betsy, and father to Benn and Chloe.

My wife is Augusta. She is a beautiful person, successful nurse, and active volunteer for many outstanding causes. I will say no more as I have no doubt already embarrassed her enough.

Our dog is named Wanda. She is outstanding at eating, sleeping, playing and barking at neighborhood children.
