A Chicago Native, I grew up on the North Side in Chicago’s iconic Lincoln Park. Empowered with a host of diverse experiences that I expressed through my work, I began climbing the corporate ladder through sales and quickly learned my passion for marketing would evolve into my own consulting, event planning, & catering business!!

I love Traveling, especially if it’s outside of the U.S. Bike Riding, video games, music, and all new technology, YES I’m a gadget boy! I write from my sight and my experiences!!
