Sound man to the stars. I work at 7 different clubs/venues in Manhattan with an emphasis in jazz.

Odds are if you have played a gig in NYC you have had me shove a mic in your face. Or I will soon be shoving a mic in your face in the near future.

Being a champion.
Blaming the feedback on the guitarist.

Dreams of chick corea screaming at me.

Musicians aka Divas, Burnouts, Rockstars, Psychopaths, Has Beens, Lotharios, and what I like to call the Hot Messes. I really like the hot mess. I can identify with the hot mess.

Ruining a jazz show with my awesome. People are there to see me solo on the soundboard. WHAT WHAT

I have watched every episode of "Sex and The City". Voluntarily.
And I used to DJ a lot of amatuer hip hop events in my 20s. If you ever have been to one of those sausage fests; then you will understand how embarrassing this is to admit.

This well thought out profile has inspired, transformed, enlightened, or made you feel all warm and euphoric. Just writing this profile has made me transcend mind, soul, and body. Especially the part about where I like Tortas.
