    Bio

    I was born and raised in Manhattan, NYC. Attended 10 schools including Bronx Science and the United Nations school and finally home schooled myself in Mexico.

    After a couple years moved to Tel-Aviv to study business and marketing. Left school to move back to NY to take a job running a youth center for low income, high-risk kids in lower manhattan.

    Worked in music licensing for film and tv and as the music editor for Prophecy magazine.

    Moved to LA to co-found SGR! and taught myself design and photography. Then came web design, via wordpress customization and creative hacking.

    Took my new skills and started helping friends and doing personal projects, which soon lead to commercial work.

    Bought a 5D II and started shooting and editing video.

    Began working with Sephora while simultaneously launching a non-profit doing solar charity work in Zambia.

    Connected with Greenlight Apparel where I’m currently working as the creative director.

    My biggest passion is my daughter Agnes who inspires me to be the change I want to see in the world.
