BIO
Thanks for stopping by!
Born in New York City , Raised in New Jersey, and lover of all things pop culture. I started at MTV and camped out there for about 18 years until it became other things like Paramount Global (which was kinda awesome). I learned, loved and lived way too much there and have never been more excited about what fun creative fun is next. Where am I now you ask? Spending time with my wife and daughter back in NJ.
