He found and developed the story of Dr. Catana Starks of Tennessee State University, the first black woman to coach a men’s college athletic team. He made the decision to produce From the Rough and cause it to be theatrically released, because Coach Starks is the everyday inspiring leader that is given far too little recognition, especially since one of the young athletes and students she touched had a life-changing effect on the life of his younger son.

He graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a B.A. (1970) and received a J.D. from the Harvard Law School (1974), and was a Fellow in the Harvard Advanced Leadership Program (2010-2011.)
