I'm a Chicago native with a great deal of passion for film and music. I grew up going to punk shows at Fireside Bowl and have received my BA in film from Columbia and my MFA from Northwestern. I spent the last three years in corporate America, but decided it was time to change and pursue my real goals.

Filmmaker, teacher, freelance writer and radio collaborator

listening and finding something enjoyable in what ever circumstance I am in... and taking two hours to figure out what to watch on Netflix, don't act like you don't go through that too

my enthusiasm... otherwise, my eyes get plenty of attention

I love films and music... I can spend hours on either subject... I grew up in Chicago's punk scene, but I was part of every subculture... from punk to house to indie to the new wave of R&B... the weeknd... How to Dress Well... other than that, The National is my favorite band. I recently saw Dope Body at Empty Bottle. BTW, Empty Bottle is the best venue in Chicago by far.

Rainy days and having fun. The other four are open for debate.

next project next party

depends on the neighborhood... Wicker Park, UK Village, Pilsen and the Ill Vill

I'm secretly a millionaire
