... but I'd trade it all for a little more.

About Me

Well I graduated from good ol' Rutgers in 2003. I started working for a large insurance company, but insurance is boring, and so is office work. So I saved up, quit, and studied to become a sound designer and audio engineer.
I started out doing most of my soundwork in theater, helping with the production of The MarijuanaLogues for a month, and working on the 2005 Drama Desk Awards. After that I moved on to recording studios, where I worked with numerous indie rock bands in the New York area.
I learned 99% of everything I know about post-production at Sony Music Studios in Manhattan. I started as an intern, and was hired after 8 weeks of working for nothing. Since then, the Sony Studio , the place where Kurt Cobain's final performance was staged, closed its doors in July of '07. Now I do some freelance, as well as work full-time at Creative Group in Times Square.
I also record and produce hip hop from home, and rep that Otha Ish. However, work and beer have distracted me from maintaining my music webspace. New Otha Ish should be dropping in the near future, and I will then be keeping everyone updated on the hotness that spews forthwith.
When I'm strapped for cash, I sell some beats or work security. I've bounced at Stuff Yer Face in New brunswick, as well as a few NYC clubs, including Tonic and Avalon. Many think I'm too nice for security, but there's nothing more fun than pushing around drunk people.
I kinda play Catch 27, although I am horrible at it. I guess that means I am a social failure. Actually, it doesn't. It just means I have a hard time trading my friends. It sounds like an asshole thing to do. What, you don't play? Join my pack, bitch!

Your Birthdate: May 13
Being born on the 13th day of the month should help make you a better manager and organizer, but it may also give you a tendency to dominate people a bit.You may be more responsible and self-disciplined than you realize.Sincere and honest, you are a serious, hard working individual.Your feelings are likely to seem somewhat repressed at times.You are apt to be much more practical, rational, and conscious of details.Your intolerance and insistence on complete accuracy can be irritating to some. What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
