He received his BA from Columbia University in Financial Economics and Political Science and worked on Wall Street before leaving to be the Director of Corporate Development at Production Resource Group (PRG) in 2018. There he advised on a number of strategic M&A transactions that expanded PRG’s international presence in TV and Film, most notably with the acquisition of VER.

His other non-profit commitments include Lincoln Center’s Young Patrons, Lincoln Center Theater's Angels, and New York Theatre Workshop’s 4th Street Bar Association. When he is not seeing theatre or running around the big loop in Central Park, he is singing show-tunes at The Friki Tiki, a bar he co-owns in Branford, CT.
