On clear days, I can see Brooklyn, where I was born along with my 7 brothers and sisters. My dad was an NYPD detective who specialized in sending major organized crime figures up the river. I became friends with Thomas Berry and Vine Deloria, Jr., two amazing men who changed the way I perceive our predicament here on Earth. When the United Nations called me in 1993 to help develop a group that was trying to save species and protect the oceans and atmosphere, I brought their perspectives to the task. The Global Environment Facility is now the world's largest environmental grant maker, though it is not without some major faults. For that reason, I kept the organization at arm's length, and worked as a consultant rather than as an employee. That arrangement also allowed me to be in charge of my kids--the job that led me to become a BABY WRESTLER. My other major interest is cinema, and I attended the graduate Film/TV Program at NYU, where I wrote several screenplays. Right now, I'm raising the kids, acting as Chairman of our town's Environmental Commission, restoring a great old house, and training another wolf-dog.view less
