About

Once upon a time, I worked in production. I met all sorts of people, from Peter Berg to a photo assistant who refused to eat pre-sliced fruit.

The sandbags were heavy. But, after enough hard work, I would be the guy who tells other people to move sandbags. I wondered if there could be more to the world than sandbags. No, everything is about sandbags. But maybe I didn’t have to carry sandbags. I could write about sandbags.

I shared the idea with my boss. He said I should probably take copywriting classes, but he couldn’t talk because the talent got sick from pre-sliced fruit. At that moment, I saw my future in the world of advertising.

When not thinking about sandbags, you can find me reading or running in circles in Prospect Park.
