Born in 1967, I was brought up on a religious kibbutz in the Beth-Shean valley. After completing my military service (In a paratroopers unit) I studied at the Institute of Archaeology of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, majoring in Biblical and Classical Archaeology. I completed an MA in 2003, specializing in Numismatics. I also completed an MBA in 2009.
