I’ve always been passionate about building community, nurturing young families, and creating spaces where both kids and adults feel right at home. Growing up in the Midwest and spending summers at Camp Ramah in Wisconsin (where I met my wife Yael), I fell in love with the magic of Jewish life and community.

After earning a master’s in education, counseling, and family therapy, I spent time working in TV development and casting — what LA resident hasn’t? — but my heart kept pulling me back to Jewish families, bringing creativity and care to Jewish preschools, day camps, community programs, and family engagement initiatives.

These days, when I’m not chasing after my two young kids, I can be found watching Bravo, planning ridiculously over-the-top Halloween parties, and tracking down the best vanilla latte on the East Side.
