Hello! Welcome to my website. I am a writer, technologist, and label founder based out of Los Angeles. I grew up in a small suburb in upstate New York and moved to the city for college. After graduating I worked as a data scientist at Spotify before leaving to found Big Tent Music, a project-based record label and music blog. I now work at Kobalt Music Group as the first analytics hire in their sync department. I am also an avid reader and a long distance runner.
