Executive Identity

Conceptual Power. Operational Proof.

Who I Am

I am an artist, producer, DJ, engineer, remixer, chart consultant, product broker, brand developer, and advocate who has spent decades turning raw instinct into measurable outcomes.

My career started as the son of a musician, surrounded by live, organic, analog music before I ever had a title. That foundation turned into signed artist work, touring DJ work, studio production, remixing, national and international chart activity, media placements, retail brokering, beverage innovation, Ai command systems, and public-service advocacy.

I have worked, failed, rebuilt, adjusted to technology in real time, and kept moving without giving away the integrity that makes the result valuable. The room may not always understand the concept at first. I build until the outcome speaks for itself.

Beyond The Studio

Executive Brokerage & Product Representation

Since 2014, I have operated as a private broker, marketing consultant, product-placement strategist, and product representative for high-net-worth and emerging brands.

I served as an exclusive product broker and retail strategist for products connected to Shark Tank, Mark Cuban Companies, ABC, and GNC between 2014 and 2019, with expansion across brick-and-mortar, grocery, convenience, online, domestic, and international channels.

Retail / Distribution Proof

  • Nuts 'N More - Shark Tank USA lane into GNC markets including the UK, South Asia, Mexico, and Europe.
  • Skinny Tan - Dragon's Den UK lane into GNC Australia, South Asia, UK, and related international markets.
  • Representation and strategy connected to The Vitamin Shoppe and GNC market pathways.
  • Boardroom negotiation backed by product positioning, retail reality, and direct marketing strategy.

Money Tie-In

Helped move emerging CPG brands from early launch / thousand-dollar beginnings into multi-million-dollar sales outcomes within a three-year window.

That means the resume is not just creative. It has the commercial proof: product, retail, buyers, market fit, distribution, and money.

Product Innovation

As Managing Partner and Head of A&R / Product Development for the Sonor / Verified Wines & Spirits lane, I helped pioneer a sound-driven beverage concept under the idea: "We Make Wine With Music."

Live & On-Air

Built For Any Room

Producer / DJ / Musician

I adapt to the room - intimate, corporate, club, theater, broadcast, event, festival, private, branded, or arena-scale.

Years of touring across the continental United States taught me how to read the crowd, support the production, protect the energy, and deliver the performance without needing the room to be perfect first.

Las Vegas / Major Stage Notation

Headlined / featured for Caesars and MGM property environments with appearances and stage work tied to Pride Las Vegas, The Chelsea Theatre, Palms, Aria, Planet Hollywood, and The Fashion Show Mall.

This live history strengthens the full package: performer, DJ, producer, host, music director, brand presence, and technical operator.

Sound & Stage Technical Support

  • System setup, live mixing, signal flow, rider adaptation, and on-site troubleshooting.
  • Performance and production thinking in one operator.
  • Useful for venues, broadcasts, private events, labels, and branded activations.

Sextronica After Dark

Creator and host of a late-night, adult/nightlife-friendly mixshow format built around hot, hard, funky, sexy, high-energy dance records and a strong branded media lane.
