My role here is outreach, apprentice program, content and commercial work. A little about my history. I grew up in a single parent home in the South Bronx, a place that if you can make it there you can definitely make it anywhere in the world! I started my career in the music industry and then changed gears into filmmaking in my late 20’s. I began exploring the Hudson Valley over 10 years ago and decided to call it home almost 7 years ago when we decided we wanted to raise our daughter Nola here. So we moved to Ulster County, a place that holds so much history and beauty. My passions are filmmaking, playing sports, collecting basketball cards, and being the best father and human I can be.

I grew up here in the Hudson Valley in both Ulster and Dutchess Counties which gave me a unique experience. Playing little league in Poughkeepsie will forever be a fond memory I look back on.  I love telling stories and celebrating the amazing places I’ve been lucky enough to call home. I lived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for a decade and ran a snowboarding magazine which was completely unexpected and such a gift. After being away for so long, it feels special to be back close to my family and friends in the Hudson Valley. When I’m not working, I love to be outside w/ my partner Alisha and experiencing the beautiful nature we have in our backyards. I really just wanted to work at a place like HUDSY, but since I couldn’t find anything like it, we decided to build it.

I'm one of HUDSY’s cinematographers. Throughout my life I’ve been the shy kid. I’m not the best at striking up a convo but when I’m behind the lens I’m able to enter worlds I never thought I could be a part of. I love to tell stories that make people think and tear up just a tad, sorry not sorry. When I’m not making you cry I love making you smile! I’m always down for an adventure too, just ask my old roommate who bunked with me in South Africa. She wasn’t too pleased when I told her we’d have to go into hiding for the next 5 days. If nothing else, I find a lot of joy hiking with my dog Meeko blaring some Michael Franti while dancing from rock to rock. And yes, I use a stick as a microphone to lip sync.

That's one of the questions I've been asking myself especially since the start of the pandemic. When I moved back to the area, one of the places I would go to connect with folks was the Hudson Valley Tech Meetup. We wanted to create something in that same spirit and based on the response so far, I don't think I'm the only one looking for more connecting opportunities. Can't wait to see you there.

Make sure to subscribe to HUDSY so you don't miss our upcoming content! And while you're at it, feel free to post a photo of something you're working on in the Hudson Valley. Looking forward to connecting with local artists!!

This is Jerome. He doesn't know me, but I know him...somewhat. In the life as an editor, I meet so many unique and interesting people, though they don't know me. HUDSY is a great platform for artists to meet each other through this valley we call home, and I'm looking forward to the new faces I'll get to meet in person and not just through a computer screen!

I had the pleasure of grabbing lunch with the fabulous Sage Higgins this week - Gracie from Gracie's Trendy Treats. Check it out here and enjoy the giggles! https://watchlocal.hudsy.tv/programs/gracies-trendy-treats-series

I wear a lot of hats here including the build out of this app, operations, some producing here and there, and whatever else needs to be done to keep this train rolling. I’m a Hudson Valley lifer and have been in the arts community here in a variety of ways as an arts advocate for over 20 years. I just love this place - no matter where I travel, I always come home thinking “my mountains are better” - I know you know the feeling! What’s your favorite part of the Hudson Valley? I’m always looking to find out more about this amazing place we live!
