Life & Career Milestones

My path in life has been direct

    When he was young, he didn't have a "career" in mind, but he definitely had an area of interest.

  • 2.

    Was originally studying theater; directed a play in Boston; a producer recognized as a visual wonder; shot the play as a film.

  • 3.

    As he was participating of the direction of this film, he realized his training in directing actors could cross over into film and television.

  • 4.

    He went to work at a local Boston TV station; had to give up directing theater but got to direct documentaries instead.

  • 5.

    Produced several documentaries, eventually won an Emmy with that station.

    Says that when you're facing criticism, you just have to be honest with yourself and honest with others.

  • 7.

    He "never did and never will" judge his success by how much money he's made; says success is in the "magic" of communication, being happy.

  • 8.

    Says his priority is "me first...me, and whatever good I can give to the rest of my peers"; that might be egotistical but he always wants to be happy.
