I’m a proud lifelong learner. I recently visited Pizza School NYC to learn how to make authentic New York-style pizza dough. (The pie pictured was topped with ricotta, cinnamon… and blueberries!!) Photograph by Sam J. Photos

There are many sides to every story.

There are many angles to every subject: pathos, humor, inspiration, cautionary lessons—the breadth of human experience. I try to draw from them all.

It’s become a foregone conclusion that today’s audiences are hopelessly fragmented. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy that creators needlessly perpetuate. I don’t expect the trend to reverse, but I believe there will always be potential to tell stories that captivate the masses. Stories are magic.

I got my start as a junior assistant editor at a Manhattan-based production company that made reality TV, working in their development department, cutting countless multihour casting interviews down to one-minute pitch tapes, learning from master practitioners how to craft sizzle reels that really sizzled. It was “all in the edit”: if it didn’t grab your attention, it didn’t make the cut.

Since then, I’ve worked on all kinds of content—documentaries, live multi-cam comedy shows, narrative feature films—for major platforms like Netflix, HBO and Apple TV+ (as well as scrappy underdogs on shoe-string budgets).

No matter the genre, format or story, bringing ideas to life never gets old. With each project, I learn something new—about life, the world, the rapidly growing arsenal of post-production tools, and, as an editor and storyteller: “what works and what doesn’t.”

Like most artists, I believe my best work is ahead of me. If you feel I might have something to contribute to your project, I’d love to hear from you. All other inquiries are more than welcome.
