Drafted in the second round (behind Steve Garvey, first round) he pitched in 30 games in the 1970s for the Los Angeles Dodgers, including 21 starts and 2 complete games. Arm injuries during the 1971 season (2-1 record) eventually forced an early retirement from baseball at age 26 in 1973. He went to school at Stanford University, graduating "with distinction" (top 15%) with a subsequent graduate degree from California Polytechnic University (Cal Poly Pomona) in Land Planning and Landscape Architecture.
He was subsequently voted into the Stanford Baseball Hall of Fame.
He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with a 30-year career in land planning and landscape architecture. He is currently a Senior Manager/Planner/Landscape Architect at Kimley-Horn and Associates, a national multi-disciplinary consulting and design firm in land use, urban planning, civil engineering, traffic/transportation planning, as well as landscape architecture.
He designs and lays out new communities and development projects throughout California and in other parts of the world. He continues to give pitching lessons in his spare time to local teens.
