“Any team would be lucky to leverage Steve’s knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm.”
- Rich Silverman
I was born in Buffalo, NY.
Yes, I know where to get the best chicken wings.
Leaving the snow behind, I graduated with a BFA in Cinema-Television from USC and then completed an MFA in Writing at CalArts as part of the first graduating class from the department.
I’ve written articles for the LA Weekly, X-Tra, Grand Royal, Sound Collector Audio Review, Coagula, Mean Magazine, and Vibe.
My favorite thing to do is go on adventures with my family and take photographs.
A few random facts…
During college, I held several challenging summer jobs, including maintenance work at a sewer authority, groundskeeping and cleaning up at a public park, toll collection during the graveyard shift on the US/Canadian border, and clerking in a liquor store.
Each position reinforced the importance of diligence, perseverance, and the ability to interact effectively with different types of people.
I've lived in multiple cities during significant disasters. While at the University of Southern California (USC), I witnessed the Los Angeles riots, Malibu fires, historic mudslides, and the 1994 Northridge earthquake.
On September 11, 2001, while commuting to New York City from Brooklyn on the N train into Manhattan, our train halted abruptly, and the train was evacuated. Above on the street, I watched as, across the river, the Twin Towers fell—a life-changing moment of distress and sadness I never wish to relive.
These events have taught me important lessons in crisis management and personal resilience, emphasizing the need for quick adaptation and strength.
Hobbies and interests include: Photography, Cycling, Swimming, Hiking, Cooking, Repertory Cinema, Video Game History, Reading, Conceptual Art, Mythology and Folklore, Haunted Houses, Antiquarian Books, Globetrotting
