Graduated from Touro College, Long Island, following undergraduate work at Syracuse and from 1986 to 1997 he practiced law in Hollywood in both the commercial and entertainment fields. He became a specialist in representing not only the above the line elements such as actors, writers, producers and directors, but also all aspects of motion picture and TV production from development through financing and distribution. The transition to movies was rapid and after serving as associate producer on three independent features he took the plunge and produced _Motel Blue (1997)_ starring 'Sean Young' and Robert Vaughn.
