Hello, I'm
Producer, founder, live streaming architect, open-source tinkerer, and keeper of 50+ houseplants in Brooklyn.
About
Two decades of building things at the intersection of storytelling and technology.
In 2004, I co-founded Iris MediaWorks, a video content strategy and production company that created everything from product demos and commercials to branded content, live interactive shows, and event coverage for startups, publishers, and global brands—working with clients including General Electric, Hewlett Packard, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sesame Workshop, and ConsenSys.
When the world went remote in 2020, I founded PTR and Co to help clients pivot to virtual and hybrid events—professional live streaming with camera switching, graphics overlays, and multicasting to any destination. I was an early pioneer in live streaming tech, working in the space well before Periscope and Facebook Live existed.
Outside of work, I'm a dad of two, happily married, and deeply committed to my collection of 50+ houseplant species. I serve on the boards of The Tank (a nonprofit theater in Manhattan) and the Ditmas Park West Neighborhood Association in Brooklyn.

Projects
Side projects that keep me up at night (in a good way).
A family banking app for kids and parents. No more scrambling for cash on allowance day. Because parenting has enough hard problems—paying your kids shouldn't be one of them.
