Interests

As a recovering college DJ, I enjoy sharing music with friends and family. I have had the privilege of curating NPT's annual Giving Season Song of the Day, and will be creating three-song mini-mixtapes featuring many overlooked and undiscovered artists on my new social channels below.

Music
Photography

Self-taught and on a steep learning curve. I practice on family vacations and rely heavily on Lightroom to re-touch and refine. Hope someday to have coffee with Peter McKinnon or hoverboard with Casey Neistat.

Chelsea Football Club

Unhealthy obsession with the Pride of London and the greatest football club in the world. Do not disturb on match day.

Running list of what inspires, illuminates and informs me.
