I am interested in a better world, through diverse media, creative thinking, and diverting the flow of funding from prisons and the military to schools and job creation. I live in Philadelphia, but will most likely move to Portland, Oregon in September 2008.

I’m always interested in creating music for visual artists, and that’s what Chief City Recordings, is all about. I play drums for Shout Magic & Grubstake, and I play assorted instruments in other recording projects around Philly and New York.

I have made media and volunteered with the Philadelphia Independent Media Center, and I have worked with youth in North Philly & Camden for the past few years, in technology based after-school and out-of-school programs. I really enjoy learning from our youth, they have incredible insight and wisdom. Match that with internet access, media-making tools, time, respect and love, we will all be hearing a lot more from people who’s stories remain silenced by our corporate broadcast system.

I like to talk about media reform, equal access to education, grassroots journalism, delicious food, and independent art & music.
