Off the clock

I produce electronic dance music that's basically a mix of tech house, funk and nu-disco. I'm an avid sportsman: soccer, golf and basketball; practicing passionately and generating mixed results. I work remotely from the Boston area, where I'm from, but I'm always open to relocation for full time roles.
