Technical Biography
Along the years I have developed several obsessions – the first of which was programming; more specifically – programming computer games. Back when I was attending elementary school in the United States, I spent the little money I had on slot machines in the arcade and dreamed of creating such games myself. When I returned to Israel I began developing my skills as a programmer. I set the foundations of the Star CoNETrol game engine now known as Star Control: TimeWarp. The project continued without me as I entered my army service.

After the army I began work at M.E.S. doing mostly QA at first. The management was aware of my prowess in English and gradually gave me jobs writing brief instruction charts and booklets. Eventually I was to write several instruction books for the company and acquire over a year's experience in Technical Writing. This experience led to a three year project with Merterns Hoffman which ended recently. I am now in search of new projects. in the field

Musical Biography
At age 18 I began playing guitar. During this period I was listening to music by artists such as Alice in Chains, Tori Amos, Live, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Metallica and Pink Floyd. I aspired to write music that would incorporate the variety of genres I love – Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Classical and more. The years of my early childhood spent in the United States led me to learn English as a primary language. Though I live in Israel, most of my songs are written in this language rather than Hebrew. A few years of guitar practice and a couple of bands later, I became hooked on Progressive Rock. King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant, Camel, Frank Zappa, E.L.P., Yes and Genesis became a growing influence on my music.

Having built a home studio to produce my songs, I proceeded to combine my skills in technical writing and computer programming along with my passion for music to build websites for me and my band – Magentic – in which I play guitar and lead vocals.

Today I continue to pursue my dream of writing, playing and recording music, while independently making a living as a technical writer, recording technician and musical producer.
