About Me

"I dig the bungee. I mean, for me it's just a way of life, I grip it and I rip it... I live my life with a lot of flare, I live it on the edge... that's where I gotta be... I wasn't like every other kid, who dreams of being an astronaut... I was always more interested in what.. ya know... bark was made of, on a tree. Richard Gear is a real hero of mine, STING... Sting would be another person who's a hero... The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it... But, the fact that he's making it... I respect that... I care desperately about what I do, do I know what product I'm selling? NO. Do I know what I'm doing today? NO... But I'm here and I'm gonna give it my best shot..." - HanselUpbeat, positive and fun lovin’. Always ready to lighten up a situation, but can be serious. Love hanging and having a drink or staying low key with a cocktail and just enjoying the summer. Love the summer & the beach, hate the winter & the snow. I CAN'T STAND missed opportunities... Love meeting new people and experiencing new things. I consider myself an intellectual. I am very steadfast in my convictions and extremely happy with who I am and what I’ve become throughout my life. I owe 100% of that to my family, friends and life experiences.I also dj and throw parties in clubs spinning house/progressive/tech house up and down the east coast, primarily in NYC and Philly and co-own a promotion company Core Events NYC along with 3 other partners and great friends who have given me opportunities I only dreamed of 2 years ago. And yes, I also have a "real job..."www.CoreEventsNYC.com for more info!

My Interests

DJing, sleeping late... a Sunday afternoon of football, a summer afternoon of baseball. Objectivism... 4 of the 5 branches of philosophy - Metaphysics, Episemology (specifically Empiricism), Ethics & Politics...(yes, I'm a nerd) Guitar, djing, the underground...

Heroes:
