UPDATE: 4/13/08
Finally getting back into music. Have about 12 unfinished tracks that I want to complete this year. My "darker" tracks will be highlighted on my other page, AMPLIFIED EMOTION. Making a documentary on Punk Rock/Hardcore/Oi/Skinhead Reggae - hopefully will be out on DVD this summer. Upgrading my camera soon. Looking to shoot new models over the next few months. Suffering for my art as usual, but lovin' every minute of it.

Past Projects:
DC ONE Magazine | Creator/Editor - Tabloid-size glossy lifestyle/fashion magazine, precursor to DC Magazine, DC STYLE and Capitol File. For four years, DC ONE documented the emergence of DC's lounge culture and now fertile clubland, along with the influx of boutique hotels, destination restaurants, luxury salons, and couture clothiers. We did it here first. And the DC ONE mantra still rings true: ACTIVATE YOUR LIFESTYLE!
Club DC | Host/Producer - Half-hour cable TV program on DC nightlife with alternative music videos, aired monthly on FCAC Channel 10. Show featured interviews with Remy Zero, La Bouche, Emmet Swimming, Oscar-winning composer Bill Conti, and countless others. Highlighted music videos by Pulp, Blur, Rialto, Crystal Method, Pulsars, Republika, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Nancy Boy, Depeche Mode, etc.
Often emulated, never duplicated.
Europhoria | Creator - Production company for Club DC television and vanity recording label for Faux Savant and Paolo (see below).
The Untouchables | Graphic Artist - Framed three characters for this revolutionary combat video game developed by Creative Edge, featuring live action martial artists.
DJ Dirty Hands | Former Manager - Groomed Chuck for stardom, No.1 Hip Hop DJ in DC and beyond. After several photo shoots, press kits, bookings, residencies, ads, articles, online postings, and substantial verbal hype - he rose to the top of the DJ food chain in the District. Now the co-owner of Fly Lounge. I'm proud of you Chucky!
YTIC.com | Content Developer - Maryland-based entertainment website. Interviewed Boy George, Tall Paul, MJ Cole, Deep Dish and others. Created the popular movie/advance screening section.
Faux Savant | Primary songwriter/guitarist - Five piece electro rock band, opened for Cheap Trick and Velocity Girl. Single "Why Can't I Get It Right?" off the band's only CD EP "Above it All" was played on college and regional radio. Made an unforgettable trip to Hollywood/L.A. in a vain attempt to secure a record deal. The stuff of legends, bar stories, and NC-17 rated movies.
Paolo | Primary songwriter/guitarist - Solo project with British male vocalist, in the vein of Sting and Sade. Mellow but engaging.
Flipside Magazine | Contributing writer - International L.A.-based Punk/Alternative music magazine. Interviewed Agnostic Front, Bosstones, 24-7 Spyz, David Smalley (DYS), Anti-Heroes, Killing Time and many other Punk rock icons.
