Biography

A veteran of over 30 years in Central Florida’s entertainment and events industry, I launched my career by revitalizing the newly independent Central Florida Future newspaper in 1994 before founding and publishing aXis Magazine. For 25 years, aXis served as a cultural staple for the 18–34 demographic, spotlighting music, sports, and pop culture throughout the region.

The magazine’s success and deep ties to the local music scene opened doors to artist management opportunities with major labels including Atlantic, Epic, and Universal Records. This path ultimately led to an executive role as VP of an Island/Def Jam label imprint.

Leveraging industry relationships and media reach, I co-founded the Florida Music Festival & Conference, which became the Southeast’s premier music showcase—second only to SXSW—hosting early showcases for future stars like Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen.

Today, as Co-President of aXis Productions and Events, I bring over three decades of experience in music festivals, conferences, and brand activations. Our team proudly partners with corporate clients, colleges, non-profits, and municipalities to produce impactful and memorable events.
