I am 29-year old college recent graduate of CUNY's City College of New York who earned his bachelor's degree in economics in May of 2014.  I am also a talent buyer and event manager of my own events firm.

 

A few months prior to graduating, I founded Pilot Light Records LLC, a record label and events agency.

 

In the very beginning of 2014, I started organizing and managing my own concert events at Union Hall, The Acheron, The Grand Victory, and where ever I could get some of my favorite bands in one room to play in front of anyone who would be willing to listen.

 

That basic premise combined with strategized marketing has been wildly successful and Itake pride in it.  I have worked with bands from all over the country and have constantly developed and executed new ways of making live music in for underground touring bands more economically practical.  Pilot Light Records today has gone on to become a relevant fixture in the music scene in Brooklyn with zero PR funding, New York, hosting monthly concert events.

 

I have worked with The Agency Group LLC, The Flatliners, Iron Chic, Heartsounds, After The Fall, Timeshares, and Captain We're Sinking (just to name a short and select few) and that list has been growing.

 

In addition to this, I have also been doing stand-up comedy and screenwriting since May of 2014.

 

I cohost an open mic called Quarter Life Crisis which takes place every Monday at 6:45 PM at Supercollider, 609 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY in South Slope.  I also coproduce The Monthly Show at the same place once a month.

 

I do graphic designer who does the occasional freelance work upon request.  Feel free to contact me for questions, quotes or ideas.  I am always happy to talk.
