Radio Production, Antique Restoration, Fine Artwork & Photography, Cooking, and Exploring.

My love for music led me to create my first internet radio channel in 2005, which led to a two year terrestrial FM radio program when I was in college. Currently working on a new radio program that will see its inception very soon. I also have a love for early American antiques and clocks, and I love to restore resell.
