I was honored to be a Crain’s Business 40 Under
40 honoree in 2007, and serve as frequent judge of
creative work for the global advertising and music
industries, including; MIDEM, Advertising Week,
Billboard Music Conferences and AICP. I try to do
as many public presentations, university seminars and
television interviews, as possible. I was recently called
on by Bloomberg Television to be its “Mystery Guest”
representing the global advertising and commercial music
production industry. I am also a returning speaker at the
Steinhardt School at NYU, and at my alma mater, Cornell
University.
With all the years that have gone by since my time at
NEMC, I still think about that place every day. Seriously,
everyday. My business facilities are constructed in such
a way that there are long hallways with a dozen studios
on either side. As I walk down those hallways, all I hear
is music coming from 360 degrees around me. Violins,
pianos, woodwinds, voice, brass, percussion, all are now
colors that paint a magnificent sonic landscape, now, of
my own. That music is seamlessly orchestrated with the
sounds of nature, laughter and joy emanating from the
park that sits below our penthouse location in the heart
of downtown NoHo, NYC. Just like when I used to walk
down the path to my cabin through the woods at NEMC
when I was a kid.
Life coming full circle. Perfection. Gratitude.
