About Me

I've been heavily involved in Toronto's nightclub industry for years now. Started off by creating Lyta Crew Clothing that was targeted at the jungle/drum & bass crowd during 1998-2002. Sold in stores across the country and sponsored some of Toronto's largest events during the peak years of Toronto's booming rave scene.

Lyta Crew Clothing ended up spilling over into sponsoring club events then hosted by Mystery Entertainment at it's very beginning. From that bloomed a relationship that ended up becoming a partnership. In early 2002 I became a partner of www.MysteryEntertainment.com and we took the city by storm.

I'm currently invloved with one of Canada's largest companies working in their bar, restaurant and nightclub brand marketing divisions.

I'm also a huge sports fan with loyal ties to the Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls, Toronto Blue Jays & Toronto Maple Leafs. I'm a fanatic...I love my sports!! ..

I stray away from the Leafs comparison but lately I let people have it...I've been born and raised a leaf fan since a kid and I do love the Leafs and hockey, however, this city is filled with bandwago...
