About Me

Musician. Teacher. Photographer. Community (re)builder. Space renovator. Contemplative Doer. Real Estate Agent for Musicians, Artists and Good People of all walks of life. On a mission to help people get houses in Philadelpia while it is still affordable. Geek about urban history, planning, amazing buildings, and community driven redevelopment.
Just finsihed rebuilding my houses. Admire reflective people. Have a peach tree. Just learned to lay hardwood flooring, re-wire a house. Helped start a record label (Honeymoon Music). Teach kids and adults photography at Fleisher. Like to do as many things as possible. Need to learn to do less, or do more of fewer things. Ritual is important. Music is a gateway to feelings that need to be gotten-to and remembered. Kick-ass beats are important. Have a philosophy degree. Read tons of books before. Arrived at doing instead of bookworming as a current state. May read tons. later. Learning to dance more gently now. Brian Eno was on to something. Energy exchanges between people are key but hard to talk about sometimes. earth/dirt/grass/ tree/ light/birds living things are key. I learned photography from a healer. Fast driver usually. Love old boxy beamers. Left handed, cesarian born, Scorpio kid. Appreciate astrology as complex philo framework- want to know more. Love 30th street station for coffee at 3:30 a.m. Love dinners in no where places and lately psyched about the busy daytime life under the EL train at the end of my block. Hard worker. Gentle and patient frequently. Part of an amazing family of friends in Fishtown/Kens- we play music, garden, cook, sew, sled, fix anything, rebuild houses, and see sharp. I'll look you in the eye. You'll know where I am at with you. I connect people in Philly. Grandfatherly love of storytelling and history/nostalgia. I'm into "warm" people, sometimes people associate that with Italians but I think it is about heart and small giving gestures. I am lucky to have an incredible family. Family is huge. Give great massage. I'll knock your socks off or put them on gently.
