About Me

I am a DJ. I am what I play.

I live and breath music and radio. My new gig is the perfect intersection of both. Check it out for youself at www.slacker.com .

I oversee the programming and program the Alternative and Indie stations myself.

My Interests

Music, Radio, Entertainment, Writing, Comedy, Photography, Traveling, Movies, Art, Learning, Teaching, Helping, Experience, Human Behavior, Life and the Good in Humanity.

I'd like to meet:

You.
