I am one of the founding members, and the current director of the Fulton Street Collective.  I created FSC in late 2002, along with my amazingly talented friend, Anna Fermin.  Our original vision still holds true to today, which is to host a community of creative, talented people, and give them the resources they need to support and cultivate their art so that they can enrich the lives of others and become part of the greater community.

I am also a street poet, songwriter, and rock musician singer and guitarist, performing in mostly Chicago-area clubs for over ten years now.  My musical influences include a crazy blend of brilliant performers, including Jim Morrison, Bob Dylan, Scott Momenthy, Iggy Pop, early Springsteen, Marty Robbins, Elvis, Van Morrison, and Bob Marley.
