I was born on Long Island, NY and later grew up in Mexico, France and Belgium. When I returned to the States, I settled in Los Angeles. In the late 80’s I worked at several major advertising agencies assigned to international and local clients as a Senior Art Director/Associate Creative Director. Before that, I worked as a graphic designer at the now-defunct Hearst newspaper, the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. When I retired from my 40-years in advertising, I returned to photography in a big way, in particular film photography since 2017. I had a book published in 2020 by Regal House called The Purpose of Things, a collaboration with the late poet Peter Serchuk with 40 of my photos. Given it was released just before the pandemic lock-downs, it was a moderate success. I have had my work exhibited in a number of virtual and physical group shows, won numerous awards and have been published in Dodho, SHOTS and All About Photo magazines.
