At this time I am the director of the division of Pediatric Otolaryngology at the Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles. In addition, I teach a pre-med undergraduate course and a course at the medical school at the University of Southern California where I went to Med school when I left New York in 1968.

My wife, Esther, is a nurse and works with me. I have three children: My oldest, Loren is an orthopedic surgery resident at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada; my daughter, Allison, is a grade school teacher in San Francisco, and my youngest son, Eric is an aerospace engineer at Northrup Grumman here in Los Angeles. I have very fond memories of HOB and was amazed by this sudden amazing trip to the past.

My wife, Karen, and I have been married for 40 years and we live in Bethesda, Maryland, just outside Washington, DC. We also have a house in Albuquerque, NM. (Karen was an Air Force brat. She moved often, but spent most of her formative years in Clovis, Alamogordo, and Albuquerque, NM.) We have two children -- Maddie is 36 and owns a gym in Bethesda, Maryland under her 202 Strong brand, and Will is an agent at one of the big Hollywood talent agencies dealing with authors, screenwriters, and directors. Karen worked as an editor at The New Republic, then stopped for about 12 or 13 years to be a stay at home mom, and went back to work as a freelance writer and one of the founding editors/staff members at Bethesda Magazine.

After graduating from Queens College in 1970, I went to graduate school at Columbia University and the New School for Social Research where I got my PhD in Economics. I became a faculty member of the Government Department at the University of Texas at Austin. I left Austin in 1982 and moved to Washington, DC. My first job was with then-Congressman (now Senator) Chuck Schumer and then I moved to the Joint Economic Committee where I worked with a number of Congressman and Senators. I moved to the World Bank in 1988 and stayed there for nearly 24 years, before retiring in 2011. Since then, I've done consulting work for US and international organizations. In addition, I keep busy with golf and photography and working out at my daughter's gym.
