He was a member of the Charter Club, one of the university’s eating clubs. In 1982, his poetry received an honorable mention for a college prize from the Academy of American Poets. The title of his senior thesis was The Schizophrenic Critique of Pure Reason in Beckett’s Early Novels.

He received a Master of Arts in English Literature from Yale University and subsequently began work on a Ph.D. that remains unfinished.
