BEFORE PODCASTING: My Grammy-nominated audio production career began in college. After college, I worked as a civil engineer for 12 years, spending nights and weekends crafting music for multiplatinum and Grammy winning artists like BoyzIIMen, Usher, and Juvenile.
In 2009 I left civil engineering behind to launch what became my award-winning magazine journalism and publishing career. During that same time I managed the careers of top actors like Sara Tomko, Irone Singleton, and Jeff Rose (2009-2014); all of which led to my podcasting career.
