Biography: Basically, I'm an entertainment and technology specialist who loves to tinker with electronic hardware and computer software to create works of art and then figure out how best to monetize them using the internet. I'm also a professional audio engineer/producer since 1991 and I love to engineer and create music in the studio. I also believe in respecting copyrights and the fair use of them - and wish more artists/creators could make a decent living off of their craft...(In the meantime, I'm waiting for someone to help me build a new collective performing rights organization built specifically for independent musicians that uses real-time metrics rather than statistical sampling...)

I'm also a classically trained musician (with an insatiable appetite for Jazz & Reggae) who has been actively performing since 1986. I hold music, audio and business degrees and work internationally as a digital media consultant with a background in radio, television, film and music publishing. I'm always looking for exciting new projects to work on so feel free to give me a holler! Throughout my career, I've always focused on artist rights issues and on building synergistic relationships. Drawing on my real world education and experience, I consistently follow the evolution and the intersections of entertainment and technology. I'm passionate about teaching and helping others and enjoy sharing my knowledge and experiences at workshops, clinics and seminars. I currently serve on the Board of Directors for the Digital Media Alliance Florida (DMAF) which is a non-profit industry organization dedicated to connecting Florida's Digital Media, Arts and Entertainment companies, institutions and industry professionals.
