Worked for Goodyear for a long time. Used to also run a ski resort in Colorado. Founded, with Lucky Casner, Scuderia Camoradi, to race in sportscars in Europe. His Grand Prix debut came about as he knew, being based in Modena, that the Italian Grand Prix organisers were going to struggle to fill the grid after a British team boycott, so an opportunistic punt came off and Fred acquitted himself reasonably in the circumstances. He was also a motoring journalist, although his first racing job was actually selling refreshments at a race track at Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Using his connections, he began racing after serving in the Korean War in the US Air Force. Died in 2024.
