I'm a soul who thrives on connection, rhythm, and movement. A longtime vegan and yoga enthusiast, I find balance in both mind and body. My playlists are a mashup of jazz, blues, rock, reggae, vintage gems, and timeless classical—because why stick to one rhythm when life offers so many? You’ll find me outdoors often: biking scenic trails, kayaking WNY canals, off-roading or cruising on my motorcycle, or catching a live ice hockey or lacrosse game. Music is woven into my life—not just as a listener, but as a creator. I’m a drummer and percussionist at heart, with a deep love for laying down basslines, and I occasionally dabble in guitar, keyboards, and woodwinds. I enjoy recording and editing my own original tracks—it's where intuition, storytelling, and sound come together in ways words sometimes can’t. Raised Catholic but more spiritual than religious, I look for meaning beyond the surface. As an active Runemeister, I craft runes and offer readings to help others reconnect with their spiritual selves through ancient Nordic wisdom. My career in non-profits and HR has instilled in me a deep sense of empathy and a desire to uplift others. I believe in being fully present, embracing the lessons of the past, and stepping into the future with open arms and curious energy. Spontaneity keeps life fresh, and I’m always up for a change in tempo—whether it’s a last-minute road trip, a deep late-night talk, or singing and dancing around the house to anything from Bop to Blues, and even to game show music.
