live content to the next level, but I’ve also got a rockstar track record in the I.T./tech field as well!

About
Tech pro and live broadcast wiz by day...
...gamer, chef, & musician by night.
Based in Los Angeles, I love the local food and music scene, always down for traveling (would love to visit Tokyo next), enjoying good whisky (Four Roses Single Barrel and Suntory Yamazaki 12 are faves), listening to vinyl, synthwave music (big fan of The Midnight), playing guitar (have 5, but my Masterbilt DR-500MCE is my daily driver) and watching Twitch (usually GTA RP).
