I grew up hanging out in my mother’s art gallery. After graduating high school at 16, I joined Israel’s Sherut La’am Service Corp, where I learned how to assemble an Uzi blindfolded and sort black olives from green.

My first father-in-law owned the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach. I hung out with drug kingpins and senators--at the same time.

A brief stint working in the Empire State Building allowed me to test paper airplane construction from my window on the 65th floor. I also answered the phone for the two bookies renting my friend’s living room. "No, Lenny's not here yet. Call back at 12," sort of thing.

With winter approaching, I headed back to Atlanta. Soon I was running the wall-spanning computer graphics console as Headline News went live, later winning a National Broadcast Designer’s Award.

In its first year, the Gallery at CNN Center I founded and directed, was the most-reviewed art gallery in town. I gave several now well-known artists their first one-person show. I also commissioned and created artwork for CNN Center’s expansive Omni Hotel lobby.

My signature limited edition sculptural handbags were sold at fashion icon Henri Bendel on 5th Avenue in New York City and numerous boutiques worldwide. They received enthusiastic praise in the New York Times, New York magazine, Women's Wear Daily, and many others. They were featured in the 2015 book, The Art of the Handbag by Clare Anthony.

A web presence since 2000, my early website is in the Internet Archive. My art has been in numerous group and one-person shows, shown on CNN and HGTV, and has won several awards, including Best Mixed Media at DragonCon, the largest popular arts convention in the world.

I was granted Israeli citizenship after a short visit turned into a multiyear adventure. I spent the two years of lockdown studying and writing the book Post Quantum Reality, the culmination of a lifelong quest to understand who, what, and why I found myself here. Studying quantum mechanics and philosophy late into the night yielded unexpected answers. Someday I am confident these surprising but common-sense revelations will be proven correct, though I don’t expect to be around to gloat. In the meantime, I like to play with the tangible math in physical form, that is, sculpting.
