30 year-old New Yorker taking his "road less traveled," opting out of the family businesses (real estate and Broadway), to go his own and work toward the dream of becoming a well-respected, often-sought art director in the worlds of retail, fashion and global consumer brands.

A creative by nature and passion, I started out as a writer, then fought my way into business school. It was important to me to learn the marketing side of the industry, so I could confidently communicate with the numbers- and brand-savvy clients I hoped would one day greenlight the notebooks full of editorial and ad concepts I'd been dreaming up for years.

Now, I am working hard on nights and weekends to find some great mentors, and to meet some like-minded creatives who'd be interested in hearing (and bringing to life) some of my concepts and creative visions.
