About Me
I've always been pretty interested in everything that goes on behind the scenes in music. Who's picking the songs, who's booking the artists, who's putting the whole thing together? Somewhere along the way, I managed to turn that curiosity into a career.
I'm currently a Music Programming Coordinator at SiriusXM, where I work across music programming, content curation, live broadcasts, and artist relations. Depending on the day, I might be producing a live show, working with an artist in the studio, or helping put together what's going out on air.
Outside of SiriusXM, I run BLANK, an independent events company, with two of my good friends, Max and Olivia. We've gone from throwing parties for our friends to producing sold-out events in NYC and a 2,000-person music festival headlined by DaBaby.
I like being involved in the process, meeting people, figuring things out, and seeing an idea actually come together. I'm still figuring out exactly where all of this takes me, but so far, I've been fortunate to make a career out of something I've always genuinely enjoyed. Can't really complain about that.
Oh, and I also occasionally manage a Little League baseball team.
Events
I got my start in events about five years ago, mostly as a way to make some quick cash and avoid standing in the crowd at college house shows by working the door. Somewhere along the way, it became one of my biggest passions.
These days, I lead the day-to-day operations of BLANK, an NYC-based experiential events collective focused on bringing real-life connections and fresh, music-driven experiences to an oversaturated, chronically online city.
I handle a lot of the partnerships, marketing, and behind-the-scenes logistics, from talking with sponsors and venues to coordinating artists, figuring out production, and dealing with the hundred little things that inevitably come up when you're throwing an event.
Over the past year, we've thrown 15+ sold-out events, bringing together more than 2,000 unique attendees. But rather than talk your ear off about it, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
Music Programming & Production
Over the past two years at SiriusXM, I've worked on a wide range of live broadcasts, artist interviews, and music programming projects.
I currently serve as the in-studio producer for Mark Strigl's live afternoon drive-time show on Ozzy's Boneyard, while also handling pre-recorded sessions and interviews with artists across genres.
I've also run broadcasts for countless Phish shows, Metropolitan Opera performances, and even a Diplo b2b Ric Flair DJ set in Las Vegas. Safe to say, no two days are exactly the same.
Outside the studio, I've assisted with music curation and audio editing for channels including '50s Gold, BPM, Deep Tracks, and Classic Vinyl.
