Born and raised in Baltimore, MD, I played drums for the acclaimed Baltimore based alternative pop/rock band, The Wanting Seed, playing with bands such as Material Issue, Dave Sharp, and The Aquanettas while also being fortunate to perform sales and marketing duties for BMG Music for 14 years. In those 14 years, I was blessed to work with amazing co-workers from Japan, Europe, South America and work in four of our North America Branches - Washington DC, LA, Seattle, and San Francisco. I was honored to work with National accounts such as Tower Records, Sam Goody, Best Buy, and artists such as Dave Matthews, P!nk, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Patrice Pike, Maroon 5, & Christina Aguilera. With the merger of BMG & Sony Music in 2004 I resigned from the music industry to pursue my passion for residential real estate sales. That passion was temporarily delayed for an even greater passion with the adoption of our first child, Shaye, three days after Christmas!!  In December 2005 we adopted our second baby, Naia, and then in December 2006 we adopted our third, Laela Jade (do you see a winter trend here?)  In December 2007 we.......uhhhhh....had ya going there for a second, didn't I?!
