- Jan 2006 - PresentOwner/Creative Director / THE CULTURE OF ME
I run a music, art, news, mp3, and nightlife photography Web site based in New York City. The focus is to consume for the consumer, provide resources of all kinds for the culturally needy, and document the lives of the people who would read the site. Think demographically of a VH1 Celebreality viewer who happens to peruse Paper magazine and seeks out open bars and killer DJ sets as often as possible. I've curated events, hosted parties, photographed hundreds of bands, DJs and artists and have worked with dozens of like-minded individuals on everything from social media campaigns to editorials and events.
