I just moved to NYC from San Francisco and am beginning the long journey of exploring this amazing town. I grew up in LA and am a very down-to-earth kind of guy. Creativity plays a huge role in my life, both through my work, and also through my hobbies. I work as an art director/creative director at an advertising agency. And outside of work, the creative side takes shape in the form of playing the guitar or occasionally messing around with various art projects (painting, photography, graphic art etc...). I love the daytime and make a point to get outside on the weekends and go for bike rides, hikes or just be out and about, although the outdoor activities will most likely be put on hold for a bit given my current location. I’m Jewish, but not religious at all. Love to travel. I’m family-oriented and have a close relationship with my folks, brother and nieces/nephew. Overall, I’m a very happy and genuine person looking to take what is an already great life and share it with someone awesome.

I love coming up with ideas and am fortunate to be able to do that for a living. I take my career seriously and devote a lot of time to being good at it and progressing within the field. I also love to travel and try to make a point to leave the country at least once a year. I just got back from a trip to Thailand and Cambodia which was awesome. Last year was Austria. Before that, China. Just starting to think about where I might go next…

Listening. I operate best one on one. And when I’m with any single person, I really focus on that person. I can also make an outstanding margarita. My guacamole is pretty damn good too.

I’m genuine, kind and not the least bit douchey.

Music: Animal Collective, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Wilco
Movies: Way too many to name. But I love Stanley Kubrick films. Martin Scorsese. A few select Woody Allen films like ‘Manhattan’ and ‘Crimes and Misdemeanors’
Books: David Sedaris makes me laugh out loud.
Food: sushi and Mexican food top the list

Having dinner/drinks with a friend or two. Or, relaxing at home with a drink and a movie after a long week. I also love going to see Jon Brion play at Largo on Friday nights (when I'm in LA), but that’s just every now and then.

I don’t eat condiments. Salsa I'm good with. But ketchup, mayo, mustard…ain’t gonna happen.
