FORMATION YEARS AND EDUCATION
Growing up in Media, PA, his formative years were a canvas on which he painted a unique identity.

His professional journey commenced with diverse experiences, from summer adventures at Lake Powell to working in a custom fabrication shop on the outskirts of Philadelphia.

His dedication bore fruit when he earned the prestigious title of 'Account Executive of the Month' in June and October 2015. Subsequently, he embraced a Sales Enablement role, playing a pivotal role in managing Cisco's expansive partner lead program, involving over 300 partners nationwide.

HOBBIES AND PERSONAL LIFE
Beyond his dynamic professional life he has cultivated a vibrant personal sphere enriched with an eclectic array of hobbies. These include motorcycling, guitar repair, kite flying, bicycling, and indulging in video games.
Music remains an integral part of his life. His journey into live music began during college with The Healthy Doses and continued to flourish with bands like Natural Selection and Jah People. Performing at venues across Philadelphia and the Jersey Shore and expanding to DC and NYC, he treasures the profound connection he forges with audiences when he takes the stage as a bassist.
Amidst his diverse interests, he has always prioritized his family. He met his future wife, Rachel, at a Flaming Lips concert in Philadelphia, marking the start of an inseparable journey. By 2015, they had relocated to Collingswood, NJ, with their daughter Cecilia, seeking enhanced educational opportunities. In 2020, their family joyfully expanded with the birth of their son, Sammy.
