He grew up and still lives around McLean Avenue in Yonkers, near Woodlawn. For most of his life, he was interested in computers, digital media and technology, developing computer animated cartoons to show to his classmates at St. Barnabas in The Bronx, later helping with tech and sound in their talent shows and school productions. He developed his first website in 2003, going live in 2006.

After years of being the "go-to" guy for technology and media, he went on to found New Logical, where he went on to serve the IT and Digital Media needs of over 250 businesses, non-profits, and government entities. In 2019, he played for Lansdowne Rugby Football Club, at the same time established the livestreaming branch of New Logical, making Lansdowne the first Rugby club in North America to professionally stream all their matches, televising their Empire GU championship that fall.
