After a decade at Rolling Stone writing about music and film, he went on to write about travel, motorcycles, sports, business and automobiles at magazines such as Playboy, Outside, GQ, the Los Angeles Times and Sports Illustrated. After serving as the Editor of American Film Magazine, he was Features Editor at Golf Digest and then Editor of Golf & Travel Magazine. He presently lives in Connecticut.
