Booking Agent in San Diego, California
As a Junior Booking Agent for Sleeping Giant Music, I represent nationally touring DJ's and secure relationships within the music industry. I reside in one of the best cities in the World, San Diego, and never take for granted where I'm at. Growing up in a small, freezing city in Wisconsin, I always wanted more out of life than shoveling snow and going where everybody knows your name. My childhood was spent going through almost every phase imaginable from jinco jeans and Deftones, to dreadlocks and Bob Marley.
I have always worked hard and had as many as three jobs at once to realize my aspiration of permanently leaving behind the frozen tundra for sunshine and beaches. Music was always important to me and hip hop led me to dabbling in my own recordings with good friends. My passion for music production took me to Arizona where I attended college for music business.
To pay my way through school, and have the extra cash to enjoy my early 20's in Scottsdale, I worked diligently in several restaurants; gaining experience with how the social aspect of restaurant work relates to every interaction we go through on a daily basis.
Along the way I have worked for T-Mobile USA for several years to gain experience in sales and technology and consider myself a tech geek. I have an affection for the latest and greatest gadgets, which can be expensive.
All of these experiences in my life have forged an eclectic knowledge and diverse understanding of people and their wants and needs. I believe people and the relationships you create and maintain are the single most important factor in success and happiness.
Although I don't quite have it all figured out, I have an embedded drive and ambition to be impactful and successful in this life. I look forward to what life has to offer and the people I will meet along the way.
