I grew up in southern California and lived and traveled around the world. I like to think my adventures have given me a wide lens of inspiration. I get up early and drink coffee—even on days it's not required. I have a personalized Starbucks gold card—a secret up until now. I appreciate a quality tequila (Patron isn't in that category) and I don't like whisky. I love to DJ, but I'm not trying to be one. I play vinyl. The 25 most played songs in my iTunes library goes from "Trash's Theme" by SSQ to "Interplanetary Music" by Mickey Moonlight with stuff like "State Of Art" by The Necessaries, "Deputy Of Love" by Don Armando's Second Avenue Rhumba Band and "Cool In The Pool" by Holger Czukay stuck in the middle. But don't, even for a second, think you have me pinned by those five songs. I love to cook. And I spend most days starring at a computer screen and on the phone. I was on staff at BPM magazine for 13 years. I worked my way to the top of the masthead, associate publisher. I held that title for both BPM and Vapors magazine. I also co-founded lostinasupermarket.com. Le Branché dot net is me with four friends whom also happen to be in the band, De Signer.
