Creating memorable, meaningful, and engaging experiences where music, media, and communities converge — this is what motivates and inspires me to do work that matters.

Through this lens, I have spent the last 14 years shaping the careers of emerging recording artists, launching digital music products, galvanizing music-tech communities, directing innovative marketing strategies, and leading cross-functional teams.

My current venture as Co-founder & CEO is Snapwave, and we’re on a mission to make music streaming more beautiful and visually engaging through photography. Come explore: http://snapwave.co.

I also co-organize Nashville Music Tech (250 members), founded the Boston-Music Tech Meetup (800 members).

I have an MBA from Babson College and believe that action trumps everything when it comes to seeking truth, challenging assumptions, and creatively solving problems. I approach business and life through an optimistic and collaborative lens and believe you should never underestimate what wisdom even the most common person can impart on you.

I dabble in mixology as a hobby, feel a good long hike can cure anything, and try to get as many winter days on my snowboard as I responsibly can.
