About Me

ABOUT ME:
A little about me. I'm someone who lives for the moment. I have a lot of really great people in my life, and I feel very fortunate to be living my dreams. I grew up on the east coast on Long Island in a very loving home. I have a brother and sister, both being very successful in their career paths. My parents are still together after MANY years. I have always gone after my dreams and that has allowed me to learn some of the greatest lessons in life. Success/Failure, Love/Pain, Honesty/Respect, Balance/Stability.....
I used to travel a great deal, and after seeing the world a few times and then some..., I learned that I really want to settle. I still love to travel, but it's not part of my occupation anymore. These days I get to produce shows locally (in the LA market) as a Production Manager / Promoter Representative for Live Nation for and with some of the biggest and best names in music. Gotta love it! I'm always up for an adventure, and earned a gold star in being a professional schmoozer.

Making the full move to LA has really allowed me to go after the life I always wanted. I'm always looking to make new friends, and live life to the fullest. I just recently moved (a few minutes away from my old place), and I absolutely love it! 3 floors w/an awesome direct view of the hollywood sign!
I grew up a youngster in the crazy world known as the music business (learning from some of the best). I've been in the business for almost 20 years now and I love what I do for a living!
And... I'm also a licensed Realtor® here in LA. So... If you're looking for a new place, drop me a message! Serious inquiries only :-)
AND... In the future, I plan on becoming a licensed pilot (so I can fly to my future island)!
Scroll through the page and read my blogs to know more about me. And yes, I'm not 100, though I am 100% verified! :-)

WHO I'D LIKE TO MEET:

Real and good people! People that believe in creating positive change in the world. People who work hard at making their dreams a reality. People with a good attitude and with similarites. People who aren't just caught in the box, but can live outside of it as well. I'm single and making the best out of life. If you'd like to talk, shoot me an email, and if you're someone I'd like to know more about or talk to, I'll write back. :-)

I cant stand drama or people who love to start it... If you're fake, a flake, a poser, or an opportunist in anyway, DONT waste my time.

On another note, people send emails to me regularly asking me about my friends... For the record, the people you see below are friends of mine and it's their personal myspace accounts. There are idiots posing as friends of mine or making fake pages of friends of mine. Only those you see listed below I can vouch for that link being their real myspace. No, none of my friends to my knowlege have multiple myspace pages.

Read my blogs as well as the rest of my profile and you'll know more about me. Feel free to POST on the blogs! (Yes, anyone can post on the blogs).
If you'd like to get to know me, shoot me a message and tell me about you... I dont just add random friend requests.

Music:

I like it all!!! Rock, Pop, dance, disco, hip hop, electronica, new age.... Why do I love the business I'm in and think it's by far the best industry... Because "Music is the key to a persons soul". It can make you at any moment laugh, cry, happy, sad.. Words w/out music, are just that... It can bring out the best in you, and the worst... Without music, who know's what life as we know it today would be like!

Once the music above is finished playing (on the player above) please click play below to listen to the latest "One PodCast". As many of you know I am a huge supporter in the One campaign. Together, one by one we can make poverty history!

Samuel L. kicks ass! Crazy eye syndrome!

Television:

Heroes:

Mom and Dad! They have always supported me on my dreams and have been there for me through it all! Bill Graham (the promoter). May he RIP! Also, so many people (the list is too large) through the years who have helped guide me (mentors, friends, family, ex's...). Thank you for helping me grow... You all know who you are and you all mean a lot to me.
Below are some videos of individuals/groups who will always be hero's to me.
