Born in Tel Aviv, 1953, a father of three and a grandfather of four, I started my career as a software engineer and then I became a partner in the first high-tech start-up in Israel that developed products over the internet. At the age of 50 I retired from the industry and studied clinical social work. These days I practice psychotherapy. In the last five years, the artistic endeavor occupies most of my time both in Tel Aviv and Crete.
