First Police Athletic League: won 2 boxing matches til I faced someone who actually knew how to box and got KO'd in the 2nd round with 16 oz gloves!!
Trained in boxing gyms in Philly, Orlando, and Tampa where I began coaching basics and inspiration. Learned a lot from Alex Stewart, Tyrone Booz, Michael Bent, and Ronald "Winky" Wright.
Helped train and spar with police officers for a special televised fundraiser for the PAL; cops vs deputies.
Did boxing play by play and color on TV and radio broadcasts.
