At the time of the political Greek junta military dictatorship, he was brought in exile to be raised further in America, via previous living in Turkey, Wales, Brussels, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Yugoslavia, and Jerusalem. He later settled in Woburn, Massachusetts, his father's home town.
He earned his MFA from Columbia University, and his doctorate from the University of Denver.
