About Me

I'm a marketer and strategist for a large digital agency in the US. Yay!I still love muzik (John Digweed and Tongy have the best radio shows), great food, wine and friends. I don't DJ nearly as much as I used to (DJ DK), but, oh well..."As a man, he was a failure. As a monster, he was superb."..

yours truly quoted in Moneysense
