He was born in Middletown, NY on March 11, 1920, the son of Greek immigrants.

His career as a reporter, photographer and radio newsman began after leaving high school early in Middletown to help support his family. He started in 1937 as a sports writer for the Middletown Times-Herald.

Between 1939 and 1945, he was a national and international reporter and photographer, and covered the White House during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s tenure. In 1945, he began a career in radio, broadcasting a nightly news commentary from the lobby of the Orange Inn in Goshen, NY over radio station WALL in Middletown. He later became the station’s news director.

In 1953, he joined The Morning Call in Allentown, PA as the paper’s newscaster over radio station WSAN, and subsequently worked as reporter, rewrite man, wire editor and outdoors columnist. For his coverage of the hurricanes and flooding that claimed 93 lives in Monroe and Pike counties in 1955, he was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. In the early 1960s, he left the newspaper to become news director of WSAN.

In 1962, he helped organize and lead a crew of hundreds of volunteers to the New Jersey shore to help with the cleanup from a storm that had battered the coast, and was honored by the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce for his efforts.

He became public relations director for the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board in Harrisburg in 1965. He left the agency in 1970 to become press secretary for Lt. Gov. Raymond Broderick in his unsuccessful campaign for governor. He was a life member of the Pennsylvania Oudoor Writers Association.

In the 1970s, he co-owned and operated a restaurant in Harrisburg with his older son, Dimitri. He was managing editor of Angler’s News and became part owner in 1976. From 1981-91, he owned and operated Angler’s Roost Margate, NJ, co-owned with Dimitri. Both were licensed party boat captains. In 1992, they moved operations to Lackawaxen, PA, opening Angler’s Roost and Hunter’s Rest. The business continued after a fire in 2006 destroyed the main building, which is under reconstruction.
