BIO

My work bridges three worlds: corporate copywriting, Hollywood storytelling, and the search for spiritual awakening through the creative arts. I began my career as a software developer before transitioning into marketing copywriting and later screenplay analysis, working for Hollywood production companies including Bedford Falls Company. That early exposure to the film industry honed my understanding of narrative structure and storytelling techniques — skills that continue to shape everything I write today.

In the technology sector, I served as a senior writer at IBM’s go-to marketing agency, Leopard Communications, where I crafted marketing materials for complex IT products and services, translating intricate concepts into clear, engaging messages for B2B audiences. My career expanded further as senior marketing communications manager at FoodChain ID, where I led the development of the company’s websites and created SEO-optimized content that contributed to years of record growth. As either an employee or freelancer, I’ve worked with many clients including the U.S. Department of Energy, K12, the Shoah Foundation, Voice of America, and eFax — a testament to the versatility of my writing and my ability to reach diverse audiences.

One of the most meaningful chapters of my career was my time at The Shoah Foundation, an archive of Holocaust survivor testimonies, where I managed external communications, wrote publications for a large international staff, and ghosted articles for chairman Steven Spielberg. My work has since expanded to clients across the United States and around the world, in places as far-reaching as France, Brazil, Columbia, and Oman.

Alongside my client work, I’ve pursued a deep passion for creative writing. My visionary novel Waking Maya explores themes of consciousness and self-discovery and was named Book of the Month by BookReview.com. In 2024, it received a “Get It” distinction from Kirkus Reviews. I’ve also written stage plays and comedies that have been featured in festivals across the United States. My fiction and essays — published in outlets such as The Baltimore Sun, Iowa Source Magazine, The Taoist Online, and Illumination — explore philosophical and spiritual questions and often weave together humor, depth, and psychological insight.

My work is deeply shaped by my personal history. As the son of a Romanian Holocaust survivor, I carry with me a legacy of resilience and a profound belief in the power of storytelling to heal, connect, and inspire. This belief also fuels my oral storytelling projects, where I bring narratives to life on stage and in live events, creating shared experiences that bridge emotion, memory, and meaning.

Outside of writing, I’m an avid athlete who brings the same energy and strategic thinking I use in my creative work to the pickleball and basketball courts. I love to travel, engage with culture, connect with people, and immerse myself in the larger world. Animals are a central part of my life, reflecting a core value of compassion and a desire to continually broaden my experience.

Currently, I divide my time between client projects and creating original works — always seeking new ways to merge craft, consciousness, and creativity.
