About Me

I am the Director of National Promotion at Centricity Records and I get to work with the best group of radio folks and artists in the industry. I also get to work with one of the best teams of people here at the label. We strive to put out the best music possible but we don't take ourselves too seriously - we get the job done but we have a good time doing it. Be sure to check out our website.

I also am a guitar player and teacher. I'm a rocker at heart and love to play out and kick out the jams.
