Edit ProfileCareer
He is a physician and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Playing under ACBL auspices in Houston during January 1977, they were on the verge of advancing to represent North American in the Bermuda Bowl when officials accused them of cheating. They quit the final match after 96 of 128 deals (which forced their three teammates to forfeit) and soon withdrew from the league, but subsequently sued the American Contract Bridge League for $44 million.
The case was settled out of court with agreeing not to play with each other for the next two years.
