Born in Sarasota, FL to a chef and restauranteur father, I grew up bussing tables at the restaurant. Despite my love for it all, my dad made me promise I’d go on with any other career path. In what can only be described as spite, I picked the second least lucrative career option - music.

After years in the music business, first on the touring side and finally as a venue GM of two concert halls in NYC, I decided to take a slight side-step to producing experiential events.

Food and music both continue to be key interests in my life as I host/cook for monthly 25-person dinner parties and produce underground non-profit dance music parties.
