Seth grew up in a family of educators while attending public schools in Southern California. He graduated from Princeton University in 2001 and worked briefly at the American Psychological Association in Washington, D.C. before moving to NYC. Here, he got his first job in education at the New York Academy of Sciences where he organized educational programs for high school students. It was through this experience that he realized his love for teaching. He became a New York City Teaching Fellow in 2004 and taught for three years in Brooklyn while earning his Master’s Degree at Queens College before moving to the Earth School this year.

Seth is an avid reader, loves to write and hopes to one day publish his own children’s novel. He plays basketball often and is a ginormous sports fan, though he realizes that “ginormous” is not really a word. He was recently seen on the cover of the NY Daily News as the face of the Mets’ historic collapse, making him quasi-famous for doing absolutely nothing. He also appears with his grandfather in the new Storycorps book, Listening is an Act of Love, which includes an excerpt of an interview that aired on NPR.
