Description

I moved to NYC when I was 26 years old. At the age of 28, I decided to take charge of my life and go against the societal norm and quit my job to become an freelance event producer at bars, clubs, and special venues. Everyone thought I was crazy, but I realized a long time ago that I was not a typical human. With that realization, I knew I wasn't meant to have an average life. I want the stories and memories, and the rest will follow.
