I have written several Shareware and open source programs, the largest of which was a tree-structured BBS called Magpie for Unix. I'm also sole or collaborating author of several other freeware programs and a contributor to Drupal's Module collection.

I'm an experienced woodworker and cabinetmaker, currently renovating an old house in Brooklyn, NY.

I built and was president of a commercial multitrack recording studio, Roxy Recorders, located in lower Manhattan from 1979-1989. Clients included The Sugarhill Gang, The Ramones, Branford Marsalis, David Sanborn, Diane Keaton, Patty Smyth, Leslie Gore, Kenny Burrell, Flo & Eddie, as well as Ice Capades, Walt Disney's "Tron", Capitol Records, Warner-Reprise, Def Jam and several jingle production companies.

In 1993, two partners and I opened a French restaurant in Brooklyn Heights, La Bouillabaisse. In 1994, it was awarded #1 Top Rated Newcomer in the NYC Zagat Survey -- a first for a non-Manhattan restaurant.
