Let’s face it, I’m just a nerd. I love music, art, food and technology, and I can’t throw a football to save my life. My father was an engineer and my mother a psychologist, and I seem to be a mix of both. My passion is creating and sustaining media whether it’s audio, blogging, video, or photography. I am logical and artistic at the same time often in contradiction. It’s not uncommon that I would quote Ronald Reagan and John Lennon in the same sentence. In my spare time I like to play music, paint water color, and spend time outdoors. Professionally I strive to be the rock that others can lean on in time of need and success.
