He has spent four decades splitting his time between academe and the philanthropic sector. His work focuses on health policy, and he has played many roles both as a researcher and a leader in philanthropy to study and test new approaches for improving the quality and efficiency of the American health care system. He was a Vice President at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and President of the New York Health Foundation. He has a PhD in public policy analysis from the University of Pennsylvania and did his undergraduate work at Fordham University. He serves on the board of directors at three nonprofit organizations and served for many years as the board chair of the National Council on Aging in Virginia and the Robert Wood Johnson Health System in New Jersey.

He is the Associate Dean for Research Mission Strategy and Administration at NYU Langone Health. He studies how individuals make decisions that influence their health, with a particular emphasis on evaluation, obesity, and food choice. His work uses behavioral economics to understand health decision-making among vulnerable groups, and the role and influence of public policy on these decisions. His research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Science Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and has been featured in national television, radio, and print media.
