When I was five years old I drew a picture and handed it to my father and he reached in his pocket and gave a me quarter. I immediately ran into my bedroom and quickly drew 25 more pictures, lined them up like an art gallery and invited my father to purchase them from my own makeshift gallery.

​

At the age of twelve I started playing bass and was positively reinforced by my parents and my "progressive hippie" school teachers at Walden in New York City to continue to make music.

​

I started playing in local New York City bands but I wanted better equipment so I took a job as a messenger at Sound One Corp. Sound One was a film post production company located in the Brill building. 

​

By the time I graduated high school Sound One hired me full time as a film post production sound engineer. I began shooting opticals, as well as working with very high profile clients to make sure all music and sound was properly prepared for final mix, which I did for over eight years during which time I also taught my self the electric guitar and the drums.

I became very intrigued in how vacuum tubes played such a role in tone. I remember how a driven LA2a would add such sweetness to vocal tracks.

​

Thanks to my brother I was asked to join New Sensor Corporation aka Electro -Harmonix, there I learned all aspects of effect pedal manufacturing, product procurement, as well as high pressure fast paced sales.

​

During this time I also started producing my own public access TV show which aired once a week called Wolftoob.

​

At the turn of the century I started working at CE Distribution as the Vice President of sales and marketing, I was in charge of all marketing and sales as well as all purchasing.

​

All my experiences in music and life gives me the ability to see business from a pure artistic point of view.
