About me

I am the kid who got his paper ripped up at the end of math class in 5th grade because I drew a cartoon instead of solving algebra equations. This creative thing mixed with my passion for the new has propelled me through my life landing me in some interesting jobs, countries, situations and meals.

Currently I work at Yahoo! running, what I call, their experimental marketing team. This keeps me busy and partially satiates me desire to find the new and the next. It also keeps me on the move. The places I travel for work bring along with it a plethora of gastronomic perks. Through these jobs and meals I have met and befriended some amazing people.

Work doesn’t consume all my time. I still make plenty of time to indulge my other passions. Obviously, I like cooking. So we can move off that. I carry a camera all the time. Sometimes film. Sometimes digital. I ride bikes a lot. Ever since I dropped the training wheels, at age 5, the bike has been my vehicle to new places. Although, new places consisted of my block until I was 7 because my parents wouldn’t let me ride off the sidewalk. I am a little bit of a behavior science fan (read: people watcher). I live in NYC so that comes with the territory but I take it a little further. I blame my grandfather. He was a talker, in 7 languages, in fact. I didn’t get those genes. I am still struggling to learn Italian.

Both sides of my life help me to live a daily adventure. Part of that adventure is asking “What and where will my next meal be?”. As long as I am asking that question, I will always have a new story and experience.That is what makes me wake up in the morning.
