ABOUT ME
Hi guys, thanks for coming to my website. Who am I, what's my deal anyway?
I'm a filmmaker, comedian, and a good dude. I try to give back to the world anyway I can.
Hobbies: playing music (ukulele, piano and guitar), playing basketball, and traveling with my lovely wife, Abbey.
I run a video production company where we make marketing videos for businesses. We handle Fortune 500 companies and were nominated for a NY Emmy for one of our commercials.
I've performed stand up comedy on and off for about a decade. Any given year either I'm doing it hard or working on a different part of my career.
I've also trained as an actor at HB Studios in NYC, James Marshall Studio in Los Angeles, and Upright Citizen's Brigade improv in NYC.
I went to Brooklyn College and majored in Film Production and minored in TV/Radio.
How did I get into film?

At 19, I started out in Brookdale Community College, studying any topic that had to do with humans. Sociology, psychology, communications, marketing, anthropology, and more. I loved it but had no idea where to apply this. Psychology? A therapist? What does someone do if they love humans?
Early in a semester, a friend suggested I join him in the TV productions class they offered. He said it was so up my alley.
I took it and fell in love with the topic. I couldn't believe that this could be a career. This is where human interaction can be applied: filmmaking. Showing how humans interact on the screen in a realistic way.
I immediately switched gears, and for the first time in my life, armed with a mission, I did what I never did before: I worked hard in school. I switched to Brooklyn College and studied film production and minored in TV/radio.
