BIO

In summary: I spent over 20+ years in IT business consulting as an employee, in senior management, and as an entrepreneur. Mostly working in tech startups. I raised capital for a tech startup that went public on the NASDAQ and I have built/sold and built/failed in that world. That has led me to where I am today. I am a business coach, and currently work as Vice President for 2 tech companies, I am co-founder of a youth soccer development academy in Los Angeles that is the grassroots program for LAFC in SCV. I am also the volunteer CEO for MyHighlytz.com and I am on several advisory boards. I also volunteered and was voted Chairman for the SITE committee at the local elementary K-6 public school for 2-years.

In the early years, I spent time as an elite athlete in my younger days, then went on to the entertainment world studying at a prestigious acting studio in NYC (Meisner), worked on stage, in TV, and in film (SAG-AFTRA). I learned theater, movement, camera work, and VO. I also learned "dance" with some of the greats like Nat Horne and Anna Sokolow. I then ended up in Hollywood where I worked in movies, television, and modeling as talent. I also worked behind the scenes as main camera for the Women In Film Awards at Universal Studios, as sound tech on several independent films, and I produced and wrote several shorts and an independent show called "Hollywood Rising".
