Photographer

I’ve always had a camera in my hand. My mother is a photographer, and I was lucky enough to get her hand-me-down cameras. From film to DSLR, and now mirrorless, all photos you see on my website are my own.

Chef

Both my grandmothers were chefs; I was raised in the kitchen. With homecooked Jewish food made with French techniques, and the international-influence of my South African side, I was exposed to an amazing set of food growing up.

These days, the dishes coming out of my kitchen are what I’d call California food. A focus on local vegetables, fish, and dairy, with a lot of Asian and Mexican influence. It represents California in all its diversity, from the people to the food.

One day, I’ll open a restaurant. Undoubtedly, some of the food I make today will be on that menu. You can check out some of my plates on my Menu below.

Traveler

  • Fiji Beaches and Jungles

    With some of the best diving and snorkeling in the world, Fiji is as much a paradise as it is adventurous. Spend your mornings at the Rainbow Reef in the Somosomo Strait, which gets its name from the incredible colors you see underwater. Drive around Viti Levu visiting papaya plantations, eating at the most authentic Indian food outside of India, and sampling traditional Fijian treats at the local markets. Learn how to make Kava, dive with sharks, and visit villages to get a taste of true Fijian life on this multi-week trip.

  • Scandinavia and the Baltics

    Go back in time and retrace the steps and history of the Vikings, visiting some of the most important and well-preserved Viking sites in the world. Learn about Gorm the Old, the first Viking King of Denmark. Get coffee from some of Europe’s best cafes, and enjoy world-renowned bakeries. Eat at restaurants that prioritize sustainability and hyper-local produce. Visit Soviet-era Olympic Stadiums, stroll through the best preserved Medieval structures left in Europe, and unwind in Aland, a nature-filled archipelago in the Baltic.
