Attended Brooklyn College - (New School of Liberal Arts) following H.S. graduation - Math major.
Did not graduate, but gained valuable life experience from people that I met.
.
Was senior investigator in the financial industry (late 1970's - mid 1980's from Midtown to Wall Street).

The "Gift" of "Photography" entered my life around 1984 and I decide in 1986 that wanted to pursue and excel at this art form not just for its creative aspect, but as a full-time working photographer.
Its now - 30 years later and I still find the "Joy and Excitement" when called upon to provide my services.

For the past 10 years, I've mentored and coached H.S students who are interested in photography via the New York City ACT-SO program which is overseen by the NAACP.

In conclusion - Photography has been my "Education" to the world at large.

I was a quite kid during my time at Tilden, but competitive in sports; that's where friendships were built.

Yes I will attend upcoming events
