Stone Soup Ripple

I am a Managing Director of a Los Angeles based investment bank, "toiling" in the fields of mergers and acquisitions. Earlier in my life, I was a fifth-grade school teacher (PS 57 in NYC), founder of The East Harlem Children's Theater Workshop, a cab driver (BH Taxi), a museum curator (Everson Museum in Syracuse, NY), an art dealer (Tantric Art Association; The Grand Gallery), a writer of episodic television shows (numerous), founder or founding investor of a few Internet companies (On Word, Autobytel, AutoWeb, Salon Magazine, Mediaplex, and others) and a fine art photographer (markrichardross.com). I serve on the Board of the Neighborhood Youth Association, a non-profit organization that provides educational resources to inner-city students "at-risk"
