CURRENT MISSION

To be a global citizen who is conscious about what is going on in the world and to help better it.

ABOUT ME

I'm all about seeing the world, focusing on community and learning about cultures and people.
I have a very diverse professional background, having spent most of my early career working in the entertainment industry (TV, film, theatre). I am the founder of an international nonprofit whose work is centered on funding infrastructure projects in developing countries. Currently I run a small web-cooperative firm, specializing in the development of custom built websites.
I am a very active member of my local community and I have always done tons of volunteer work. I have spent thousands of hours working with children in schools and as a mentor.
I love the opportunity to explore new things.

PHILOSOPHY

I may have an apartment in New York, but I live on Earth. We are global citizens and need to understand that we all live here together.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books and documentaries that focus on global issues. Otherwise I'm a huge fan of comic books, animation and sci-fi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to Siberia to meet a child that I had been sponsoring at an orphanage for several years. I also taught a class on digital photography to a group of middle school students in India.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love my city and I love to share some history about it. New York is a unique place on Earth as it has such as rich diversity of people and cultures. There is also a great history behind it.
I'm also a photographer who still shoots on film and prints his own work by hand.
