Biography & School
During my sophomore year at MIT, I made a life-changing decision. Until then, my focus was on math and science in the pursuit of a chemical engineering degree. My ‘hobby’ of art and design continued through freelance opportunities, internships, and independent study. Instead of sticking to what family, teachers, and friends called a ‘stable career path’, I decided to pursue my passion by making the switch to Architecture, with a focus in Visual Arts. I had little sleep most nights and weekends due to long hours in darkroom, the design studios, the 3D design labs, and on video editing machines… but was never happier with the decision.
Born in New York in 1978, and I began drawing cartoons at the age of 3. I attribute that initial love of art to my favorite childhood cartoon character, Snoopy, and creator, Charles Schulz. My advice: “If you have a passion for something, pursue it, through the ups and especially through its inevitable downs. It’s cliché, but in the long run, you will be happier for it.”
I currently reside in Hoboken, NJ with my fiancée.
Photography
Candid moments, fashion shows, landscape & architecture are all part of my range of subjects. When it comes to parties, weddings, and other events, I am a big fan of photojournalistic style, and having subjects unaware I am shooting.
When I lived in the Boston area, I focused a lot of his time on exploring the Boston city streets, parks, and attempt to take on new perspectives of very common locations. However, since New York is a major part of my life and background, I have moved back as of January 2008, and will explore a whole new set of opportunities.
