Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. ("SOP") is a New York City-based investment banking firm. It was founded by Thomas F. O'Neill and Herman S. Sandler in 1988. Located on the 104th floor of Two World Trade Center, it lost 68 of 177 employees in the September 11, 2001 attacks, including chief executive and co-founder Herman Sandler. Only 17 of SOP's World Trade Center employees escaped the tower's destruction.The company lost its entire computer system in the destruction. However, by 17 September 2001 the company announced it was open for business, operating from two locations. One space was donated by Bank of America Securities, and the other was Sandler O'Neill Asset Management's office. By 22 October the company had secured a new headquarters location in Manhattan, and had hired 13 new employees. SOP maintains offices in New York City, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco. Sandler O’Neill Mortgage Finance L.P. has offices in New York and Memphis.

Vivian Schiller CEO National Public Radio
Vivian Schiller made headlines last fall when it was announced she would be leaving her post at NYTimes.com — where she’d led the team responsible for the Times‘ much-admired Web overhaul — to become president and CEO of NPR. I am thrilled to have met her. I could live without television but could not without NPR. WNYC has interesting intelligent programing that i find so interesting that if i miss it during the day I will stream it at night. We had a nice interaction and I look forward to working with her again.

Author Photos
I shot a group of Mixed Marshal Arts Fighters for a cool clothing line called
caffeineculture. I was hired by Kiersten Williams she has a company called
williams-consult. This is the 7th or 8th job I have done for her company. We started our day in a photo studio in SOHO and spend almost 5 hrs shooting the photos for their e commerce site. After that we went out to Crosby Street to do some group photos. It was an overcast day which was perfect for the vibe of the shoot. This is the second time I shot for Caffeine Culture and the second time with this group of MMA fighters.
