He was slated to go with the US Olympic Team to the 1980 Summer Olympics where they were the favorites for winning the gold medal, but the team ended up not competing because of the US boycott of the Olympics that year.
He is a graduate of Stanford University and Menlo-Atherton High School[2] and is a member of the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame and the USA Water Polo Hall of Fame.[3]
He is married to former Stanford swimmer Marybeth Linzmeier.[4]
