Early life

He was born in Newport, Rhode Island, the son of Roberta “Bonnie” Clarey and Rear Admiral Stephen Clarey. He received a B.A. in English and History at Williams College in Massachusetts in 1986.[3]

Career

Clarey began his journalism career at The San Diego Union-Tribune where he covered a variety of sports and the Los Angeles Chargers, but left the newspaper in 1991 to become a freelance reporter and was a commentator for the pan-European sports broadcaster Eurosport.

He secured his first byline in The New York Times in 1991 after his former editor at the Union-Tribune recommended to the Times sports editor to commission Clarey to write a story on Paul and Isabelle Duchesnay, a French brother-sister pair of ice dancers.

Clarey was appointed chief sports correspondent at the International Herald-Tribune in 1998.[1]

He has written two books: Davis Cup by NEC: The Year in Tennis 1997[4] and Davis Cup Yearbook 1999: The Year in Tennis.[5]
