With over 18 years of experience in the music and creative industries, I’ve worked with more than 26 artists across genres including Alternative, Pop Punk, Rock, Indie Folk, Singer-Songwriter, Dreampop, Nerdcore/Hip-Hop, Progressive Rock, and Electronic. These artists have opened for acts such as Beck, Animal Collective, Sleeping with Sirens, The Summer Set, Story of the Year, and Nick Wheeler of The All-American Rejects, and have performed at official NAMM showcases, CMJ, Summerfest, #iVoted Festival, and Vans Warped Tour. Throughout my career, I’ve developed partnerships and collaborations with brands and organizations including Gibson, Liquid Death, Fender, Focusrite, Orange Amplifiers, Westone Audio, Warner Music Group, Vans Warped Tour, #iVoted Festival, Bandzoogle, Vinylly, and FAMIGO. I’m also the host of the podcast Creatives Prevail, where I’ve interviewed over 250 guests across music, marketing, and the creator economy, including Kevin Lyman (Warped Tour), Aarash Darroodi (Fender), Herman Li (DragonForce), Livia Tortella (Black Box), Christian McAlhaney (Anberlin), Mia Asano, Marc Mutnansky (Fearless Records), Sam Means (The Format), Stacey Bedford (Bandzoogle), and Kris Roe (The Ataris). In addition to my work with artists and brands, I’ve spoken as a moderator, presenter, and panelist at conferences including NAMM, CMJ, Phoenix Startup Week, Game On Expo, Phoenix Fan Fusion, and SXSW mentorship programs with talks focused on partnerships, marketing, and creator collaborations. My passion is helping brands, creators, and teams get more value from their partnerships by building the right collaborations, keeping them moving forward, and making sure every opportunity is fully realized.
