Tollefson grew up in California and attended the Menlo School in Menlo Park, California. He attended Stanford University and began his journalism career as a correspondent for the AP in San Francisco where he covered the Patty Hearst kidnapping. In 1975 he moved east and became a sportscaster and sports director of WPVI-TV (Channel 6-ABC, Philadelphia). He left WPVI in 1990 partially for health reasons, but mostly because of his determination to create a non-profit motivational program to benefit disadvantaged children called "Winning Ways." [1]
