I am here for Networking

About Me


I am independent, down to earth, a thinker and observer, sometimes too stubborn, and I just can't shake my habit of always wearing black.

Overall, my life can get pretty busy, but has a fairly simple formula when you get right down to it. I work a ton, so I like to have fun when I can.

I enjoy good music, good drinks, and good food. I enjoy both staying home with a movie or going out to socialize or dance. I also enjoy live music, and I love the beach.

My Interests

Music, Business, Audio, Promotions, Events, Booking, Talent Management, A&R, Marketing, Production, Photography, Art, Science, Interior Design, Real Estate, Lighting, Learning, Living, Forensic Science, Beaches, The Ocean, Boarding, Gadgets, Tech, Electronics, Computers, Multimedia, Shoes, Live Journal, Craigslist, Bars, Dancing, Clubs, Parties, Spundae, Shows, Live Music, Conversation, Coffee Shops, Swimming, Road Trips, Driving, Hiking, Movies, Humor, Sarcasm, Your Brain

I'd like to meet:


Basically, I am here for networking. I am looking to connect with other "industry" people, particularly those involved in music and entertainment.

In addition, I like Individuals who are true to themselves, and true to others. I appreciate honest, down to earth, real people who are aware and accepting of their existence, and don't try to fake or con their way through life. I love people who have a sense of humor, don't always take things too seriously, and enjoy having a good time. Drama-free people are always a plus.
