About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Aspiring bon vivant, always seeking la dolca y pura vida.

ABOUT ME

Travel is one of my main life pursuits. I like to wake up in a city/country/place to which I've never been and converse with interesting people about music, cinema, life and especially religion and politics ;-)

My profession: Classical radio producer...I host and produce a radio show that features young musicians. I also cover the arts (in a more journalistic sense) in Chicago and beyond. I love it!

PHILOSOPHY

Be good, have fun, be interested, floss every day.
