Chris Benedict

Christopher Benedict resides in Huntington, New York which is the birthplace of Walt Whitman and Gerry Cooney. Taking into consideration Benedict’s passion for both writing and prizefighting, this admittedly odd pairing makes perfect sense.

Although a native Long Islander, his longtime devotion to the Boston Red Sox, UConn Huskies, and Marvelous Marvin Hagler conspire to make him an absentee New Englander at heart. He enjoys weaving together his complex love of boxing, storytelling, and history embellished by a commitment to find the devil in the details.
