I got my first taste of parties in the summer of 1994 by attending "Aquarave" hosted by E-Productions. I was hooked on the music and scene and decided that I wanted to be a part of it. That fall I enrolled in the Audio Engineering and Business of Music course at Collin County Community College.

In the fall 1996, while at school, I met a like-minded individual named Glenn Palmer, who also introduced me to Nina Khachatourian. One night Nina and I started talking about our wants and desires for the scene, and we came to the conclusion that we both wanted the same things. We wanted to provide a platform for electronic musicians to express themselves and for the crowd to be exposed to great music. Out of our talks we formed the crew "Real-time Syndicate". Our first party, "A Room of Our Own", was a benefit for the women's battered shelter and dare to dream foundation.

In the Winter of 2000, we added two new members to the Real-time Syndicate roster. Toyacoyah and DJ Meow, both hailing from Austin, TX, were instrumental in the success of our first party. After getting to know them better and finding that they felt the same way we did, we asked them to join forces with us.

Having been around dj's and producers, I finally decided to cave in to my wants and start spinning. At first I collected house and atmospheric drum n bass for about a year until I decided to start playing tech-house exclusively. It has definitely been the best decision of my life. Everytime I play I get more and more out of it and it really makes me thankful of all the time I have spent in going to school and educating myself.

Other activities I have been involved with include volunteering for SXSW as an Audio Engineer, Stage Manager, and Assistant Production Manager, hosting of a pirate radio show/internet show called Breakdown, booking a bi-weekly at Caribbean Red, and currently Nina and I are working on a monthly event, "Sub-tronic Theatre", at the Liquid Lounge.
