ALEC julian MELMAN

CO-FOUNDER + CEO | GOTHAM ARTISTS

Alec was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, which may explain his no-nonsense approach to life and business. He graduated from Manhattan's Stuyvesant High School, his proudest academic achievement, and then received a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Maryland, followed by a J.D. from New York Law School.

Like any true son of Brooklyn, he's loath to admit that he now lives quite happily in Bergen County, NJ with his wife, son, and daughter. In what spare time he can muster, Alec enjoys riding his bike all over NYC, playing tennis and hockey, collecting LPs and watching classic episodes of the Simpsons.  Read More...
