He has been a frequent contributor to the production industry magazine SHOOT, writing about music and popular culture. Greenfield received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Bowling Green University, where he wrote a weekly newspaper column which was syndicated to colleges across the country. He began his career in New York City as a copywriter for the ad agency J. Walter Thompson, later moving to the Saatchi agency as creative director on the Jeep business. Restless for a project beyond NYC, Greenfield purchased farmland in Bridgehampton, Long Island and planted a vineyard. There he built the first winery in the South Fork region of the island. For four years he served as president of the Long Island Wine Council. (After a 15-year battle with climate and site conditions, the winery closed its doors. The building is now home of the South Fork Natural History Museum.)
In 1989, Greenfield started Bang Music in New York City, a company that provides original music and audio services for television, documentaries, commercials, podcasts and other media. He is a founding member and former president of the Association of Music Producers (AMP) and co-creator of the AMP Awards for Music and Sound. In 2021 he began researching and writing "Uniting the States of America" with the goal of understanding how we have torn the fabric of our "One Nation" and what we must do to render it whole again. He resides in Amagansett, Long Island with his wife, Mary Jane Greenfield.view less
