From 2014-2025, he was the Sunday morning host of the long-running show, Sleepy Hollow, on WXPN and currently hosts the late-night year-in-music-focused Transmissions from the Time Machine on WNCW and the syndicated show Culture Caravan, which is produced in partnership with the station. His professional credits also include work as co-producer, writer, editor and audio engineer for Osiris Media’s Festival Circuit: Newport Folk podcast with Carmel Holt, tour manager and front-of-house engineer for nationally-touring artist Marco Benevento and serving as production & project director for the Philadelphia-based live concert and event company, Rising Sun Presents.

He is currently the Associate Program Director for Jazz and host of Saturday night’s The Get Down on WRTI.

He also enjoys spending time with his dog, Neko.
