Other Projects

Outside of work, I share my energy among my many passions. I enjoy letterpress printing and bookmaking, woodworking and old cars. I serve on the Board of the Center for Book Arts (NYC), and I'm also the President of the Vintage Saab Club of North America. For six years, I served as the treasurer of Ramah Darom, a regional Jewish summer camp located in northern Georgia. I currently serve on their advisory board for past Board Members and recently helped complete the ground up development and construction of a 9,500 square-foot Program Center Building on their campus. It is a knock out!

I'm deeply interested in vintage cars of all kinds, but I have a particular passion for SAABs. My current automotive project is a three-cylinder, two-stroke 1960 SAAB 96, an early example of the model that is slowly coming back to life after almost twenty years in a South Dakota field (check out this feature on ClunkBucket!). In 2018, with a fellow gearhead, I won the Worst of Show at the Concours d'Lemons as part of Monterey Car Week. I've never been prouder!

I have recently completed my second artist book, a letter-pressed accordion book for use at the Friday Night Shabbat Dinner table, in an edition of 130. My first book was a hand-set, hardcover book recounting the history of my grandparents' home in Beaver Falls, PA, printed in an edition of fifteen. One copy of the book currently resides in the permanent collection of the reference library at the Beaver County Historical Foundation.


I also help out with the marketing and management of my bride's dental practice, Dental West NYC, on Central Park West in NYC.

​I love a good vintage car rally! ​
