He became one of the youngest fashion photographers hired by Italian Vogue when he lived in Milan and worked worldwide. He was tapped by commercial companies to direct and began a successful run as an award-winning commercial director. From there he moved to Los Angeles where he directed his first film, the now classic comedy, Christmas Vacation. In 2012 he directed Joe Orach’s play In My Corner at the Skylight Theatre.
