Favorite memories: A great habit: After class any day, I would have dinner and be off with friends to nearby Big Sky for a night skiing adventure. I also met great teachers who I'm still in contact with and learned so much about so many things I needed to know. When I got back to Buenos Aires, I got my first job right away!
Currently I'm a director for a showbiz show at the largest network in Argentina (Canal 3/Artear). I'm also a producer on location in many countries...I've visited half the world already, and expect more! I direct ad shorts, aperture sequences for TV shows and video clips and do many other projects also!

Favorite memories: The beautiful sights around the city and the weather.  Yes, the weather! It's really different from my birth country, and I loved the snow and also the autumn.
