I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, went to college in Chicago, and still live in the Chicago suburbs. I have been here my whole life; I just moved south to north.

I like spending time with my wife and our kids, but mostly I enjoy music of all genres and have only, over the past few years, developed a deep appreciation for all things country music – especially country artists of color. I aim to attend at least one live show a month.

I’m always open to trying new cuisine. I podcast and have a strong interest in pro wrestling. I welcome the opportunity to get a long walk in too. Glad to now be part of The Country Blend.
