About Me:

I've been with Garnet River for almost 8 years. Somehow, I managed to work my way into a management position, which I really like. However, innately, I am more of a craftsman. I love creating and building things. Whether I'm working on programming a website or renovating my kitchen or making a DJ Mix, I love diving into the details of the project, finding answers to questions and working towards the end result. I tend to leverage this "know-how" when managing projects. I know the technical details. So, I can have an intelligent conversation with clients about their projects.

Outside of work, I'm always keeping myself busy with one thing or another. I love music, and have been a DJ for over twenty years. I've been a radio DJ, a mixtape DJ, a scratch-battle/turntablist DJ and a club DJ. I've even done a few weddings.
