Served as the sole local resident at seminal Portland parties such as Massive and Hot Mess.
Refined the art of DJing in club settings with 500+ pop music fans - and getting them to dance to Gang Of Four album cuts. Has a national reputation for being able to sell music to crowds that other DJs would consider impossible to play in a nightclub setting.
Spends approximately 20 hours per week forecasting and researching the musical landscape via scouring the internet and communicating with DJs around the world with direct access to regional trends, emerging styles, and niche genres.

Mixed and Mastered all releases from Fresh Selects including Low Leaf’s Akaashalay, Sir’s Seven Sundays and Imani Omari’s High Loops & Higher Loops - a track from which Kendrick Lamar used in his recent Grammy performance.
Curates an email list with over one thousand subscribing DJs around the world who receive original productions, remixes and highly-prized DJ edits. His tracks are played frequently by DJs ranging from Jazzy Jeff to Diplo.
Performs at his best in the short form setting of Twitter and other social media with thousands of followers and hundreds of retweets per day. Has cultivated a follower base who looks to him as a tastemaker and commentator on all things ranging from music to foreign policy.
