My passion for music began at the age of six when I attended my first concert featuring The Temptations and KC and The Sunshine Band. By 15, I was regularly attending shows, and at 16, I began playing bass. I started out jamming in a friend’s garage, covering songs like Taking Back Sunday’s “Cute Without the ‘E’ (Cut From the Team)” and Michelle Branch’s “Everywhere.” Between the ages of 15 and 18, I attended over 300 live concerts, immersing myself in the music scene.

I performed in a band called Fridays Gone Forever, sharing the stage with groups such as Lance’s Hero in 2005. I also helped book that show, which sparked my interest in the business side of the music industry. That experience led me to promote and organize local shows in Tampa, Florida, particularly at The Orpheum. During this time, I played a key role in helping emerging bands like Burden of a Day and Broadway by booking their first shows and helping them gain traction in the local scene.

From 2009 to 2010, I was based in Salt Lake City, where I organized events at some of the city's largest venues. I worked on shows for artists such as Five Finger Death Punch, Of Mice & Men, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Benny Benassi, Basshunter, Rookie of the Year, Saosin, and Gogol Bordello, among others.

I attended Warped Tour for the first time in 2001 and attended every year consecutively through 2015. I threw the official Warped Tour after parties in 2010 in St. Petersburg, FL and in 2012 in both St. Petersburg, FL and Denver,CO.

Throughout the years, I’ve helped guide artists from local exposure to regional tours, industry showcases, and, in some cases, record deals. I have a deep passion for artist development, a strong intuition for emerging trends, and a trained ear for exceptional sound.
