What is your professional background?
I got my start in video as a rap music video director. I found other work in the arts and with local businesses and nonprofits, eventually doing freelance work in Beirut, Lebanon, and in Puerto Rico. Before coming to Trilix, I worked as an assistant editor on the feature-length documentary “Hockeyland.”
What do you like to do outside work?
Outside of work, I like to golf and play tennis. I enjoy writing and leading a book club with my high school buddies.
If you could do any other kind of work, what would it be?
If I could do any other kind of work, it would be to write long-form nonfiction at a magazine like The New Yorker.
