His career path to Marvel began in Rockland County, New York, where as a kid he was an artist and a fan of comic books and science fiction movies. Winderbaum’s eye for visual mediums was recognized at an early age when he won a contest in the ninth grade for designing his school district logo, which is still in use to this day. While earning a BFA in studio art from NYU, Winderbaum created large-scale drawings of elaborate parallel worlds and staged underground theatre productions. He went on to receive an MFA in film production from USC.

In 2007, Winderbaum became a pioneer in the online space by creating a forum for interactive dramas called “itsallinyourhands,” in which the choices of the characters were decided by the viewing audience. He wrote and directed the sci-fi thriller “Satacracy 88,” which received an Emmy® Award for outstanding broadband drama and a Webby People’s Choice Award for best film and video dramatic series. The second season earned a Daytime Emmy nomination for outstanding new approaches – daytime entertainment.
