I was born and raised on the Hudson River in Yonkers, New York.
I went to Fordham Prep in the Bronx, 
I studied economics, history, and politics at Holy Cross College in Massachusetts, and played NCAA Division 1 baseball.   I graduated to a job in construction as a mason laborer, rebuilding apartments in the south Bronx.
Quickly realized being a laborer was hard work, so found a way into the advertising industry in NYC.  Worked at AC Nielsen, J Walter Thompson, FCB, and BBDO, then as a Director's Rep with Sarah Holbrook.
Left the corporate world to be a NYC bike messenger, and then transitioned into a diverse freelance career in theater and film, which has included notable achievements in the entertainment and advertising industries.
When not working I can be found walking in the hills with our dog Lupo, 
or watching Rocco Sciavone on tv with my wife so I can learn Italian.​​​​​​​
I've had two lives
life is a gift
enjoy the ride
