Music informed my love of food; a passion that has taken exponential control over my life and propelled me to the Mecca, Italia! Proudly born and raised in Brooklyn NY, I am equal parts a renaissance boy and progressive purist. My professional background has been driven by all variants of music. Record store slave, proud intern, project manager, A&R, compiler, groupie, promoter/event producer, dancer, Londoner and lifestyle marketing manager. I dangled from the corporate bridge, one hand firmly planted in the pockets of the artists, chefs, vocalists, promoters, managers, producers, DJ's, florists and photographers who inspire my life while staring down reticently at the ocean of "possibility" controlled by men in suits. My passion for a broader meaning to live and love hoisted me up and informed my next move. Hone in on food, proudly integrate hospitality, nuance, subtext, color, composition and all the senses into my future trajectory. Open a restaurant, sooner than later! Pay dues, cook, accept discomfort and ultimately shine bright!Get MySpace Layouts from nUCLEArcENTURy .COM OR create your own using MySpace profile editor !!!
