About Me

Creator Economy Operator, Artist & Builder

I'm a music artist, creative strategist, influencer marketer, and the "guy that knows a guy." I operate across the creator economy, music, startups, and digital culture — always building, always connecting dots.

The Big Picture

1

I have a track record of scouting top-tier social media talent, identifying early media trends, and bringing creators and brands together for high-impact campaigns. I've started my own creator agency, worked with some of the industry's best viral marketing teams, and I'm also a UGC creator.

2

As a musician, I've amassed over 3M streams on Spotify and performed live across Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

3

I love startups and building things. I'm particularly drawn to music, CPG, entertainment technology, and the creator economy. I'm deeply curious about AI adoption across industries and applying AI to my own workflows.

4

I believe exposure to new and unfamiliar ideas is what ignites creativity and innovation. My current interests include content creation, community building, and digital products.
