About Us

A self-glorifying pretentious bio from the CEO is never a pleasant read. It’s typically conceited but curtailed to sound “down to earth” and “humble.” If you’ve made it this far, and hypothetically want to know more about me, feel free to send me an email and I’d be happy to grab a coffee (I love coffee).

I’ve been in this space my entire career. My first paid role was back in 2001 with the Hebrew Academy for Special Children. Since then, there’s been lots of schooling and I’ve been embedded in every aspect of the business – we need to leave some conversation for our coffee. B.A. and M.A. from the Rabbinical College of America, with further study at the University of California, Los Angeles. Research at the University of Southern California, and a partial Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Alliant International University.

All this led to the eventual start of Centered Health in 2015. I live in Los Angeles with my wife and children. I love to study Torah, listen to stand-up comedy and I’m a huge fan of Avraham Fried and Denzel Washington.
