PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Reliable, detail oriented, problem solver with experience in teamwork and leadership. Seeking an opportunity to utilize energy, passion, communication skills and interpersonal skills. Over 12 years of customer service. Always was the math and arts type. Laughter is key, counterintuitively fueling my insatiable quest for knowledge. I have been playing the guitar, drums, bass, and piano since I was a kid; I love the Blues. In Philadelphia and Los Angeles, I gig, jam, and record regularly as a guitarist or engineer with the bands of Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Lauryn Hill, Gil Scott-Heron, Christina Aguilera, and Adele.
