He won a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and went to Harvard University where he earned a PhD in economics. He served in the Kennedy, Johnson, and Carter administrations, and directed the research program at the Urban Institute. For many years he also renovated and restored old houses, one on the National Register of Historic Places. Late in his professional career, he established a wine grape vineyard at his family’s farm outside Baltimore which he continued to operate after his retirement. It was during this time he took up writing plays and poetry. Today, the vineyard is gone but the writing continues. He lives with his wife, Grace, in Washington, DC. They have six children and three grandchildren.view less
