School and Princeton University. After some time working in the financial world, he broke into
producing with Room 314, a microbudget film well reviewed in The New York Times and Variety

wonderful ensemble cast including Oscar winner Melissa Leo, and the dramedy The Trouble
With Bliss, starring Michael C. Hall, Lucy Liu, Peter Fonda, Brie Larson, and Chris Messina.

worldwide hit as well as a New York Times Critic’s Pick. He is currently working on several projects, including the documentary feature What Lies Upstream, which was selected for Film Independent’s 2015 Documentary Lab. He is most passionate about films that carry a message of social change. He’s also a high-level competitive tennis player and makes time for the sport no matter how busy he is.
