Who I Am.
The Dreamer Who Dared to Do.
It was during a trip to Rome in college, as I was looking at these stunning paintings and sculptures, that I realized -- I had no idea how to enter a painting. I couldn't tell you if it was good or not. Just that it gave me a feeling.
At the same time I was building a career in music branding and watched as the industry's icons were all intentionally engaging with the Art World. I knew that I had to learn the language of art, from understanding paintings to knowing the ins and outs of the business.
That was 2010. Now, 14 years later, I've built a global network of incredible artists, superb galleries and gallerists, top advisors, industry leading museums, and innovative art collectors and patrons; all of whom have been instrumental facilitators and co-creators of some of my most impactful work.
From helping musicians extend the success of their careers through artistic collaboration and educating new art collectors on the value of the market and selling over $1Million dollars of art, to consulting with museums and blue chip galleries on their music partnerships and event strategy -- I've built a distinct place and perspective in the art industry.
I'm honored and grateful to share it with you here, so that you can build your own legacy within the art industry.

Art is an emotional language that communicates through the heart; how it makes you feel. But the Business of Art is a strategic web of moral, social, and communal understanding that can not only be learned, but mastered.
