As a youth he excelled in athletics, possessing great strength, speed, and coordination. However, by his teen years he discarded sports for philosophy and poetry, having developed an extraordinary intellectual curiosity and verbal fluency.
At that time he also exhibited a strong tendency to challenge authority, including that of his teachers. An indifferent student yet widely knowledgeable, he says that he never let school interfere with his education.
His challenging of authority also included all popular beliefs, including religion. His very different perspective on matters, coupled with an exceptional ability to articulate his views, have amazed and amused people over the years.
Mr. Redheffer is also an accomplished nature photographer and has traveled to Africa, the South Pacific, and the Americas to pursue this hobby.
He is a graduate of DePaul University.
Mr. Redheffer is a native of Chicago, where he now resides.
