I am not a lifelong teacher. I came to teaching in 2008. I now teach as an adjunct at several community colleges -- Essex County College, Passaic County Community College, and Bergen Community College -- as well as on the Jersey City campus of the University of Phoenix. My favorite classes are Writing for Film and Television and Introduction to Film, both of which I teach at Essex. They draw on my previous career as a producer/director/editor in my own video production company.

For the past ten years, I have also worked as a financial professional, helping families become debt-free, properly protected, and financially independent.

I also serve as a trustee on my local Board of Education.
