For the last 46 years, he has lived in Paris, France. In Chicago he studied briefly under Del Close, at Second City, and with David Mamet. In New York City, he had Alice Notley, poetess supreme, as a teacher. He has worked at many odd jobs such as subtitling movies and Sipa Photopress Agency photographs, technical translation as well as journalism for English language newspapers.
