Ted is a New York-based professional wordsmith-actor-musician and full-time renaissance flâneur in search of ephemeral transcendence and the ideal chocolate-chip peanut butter cookie.

Ted holds a B.A. in French Literature from Tufts University, a B.M. from the New England Conservatory, and a certificate in 19th Century French Literature from the Université de Paris - Sorbonne Nouvelle.
