About Me


I'm a person driven by passion and inspiration. I live life always looking for the next challenge and opportunity to grow. I've been fortunate enough to see much of the world which has afforded me an understanding for many different types of peoples, languages, and cultures. I have lived in Cairo, Paris, and Manila and feel i am most at home in Europe. Barcelona or Berlin would be my next stop. I try to take the best from every situation and always challenge what is considered the norm. I abbhor complacency and laziness. I encourage laughter and find great reward in the happiness of others. I am passionate about music, connections with people, making a difference, and trying to better understand the world around me. I don't take life too seriously and have my mind and heart open to whatever may come. I cherish my friends and family and know they are the key to my continued growth. They will tell you my best quality is my ability to listen and sympathize in every situation. I own a software company and run its technology department in hopes of one day having the financial freedom to make music and give back. For now you will usually find me working late hours, spinning gigs in New York and DC, earnestly searching for the next vintage wine, or on the tarmac off to the next international destination.
