Curation
I organized the Los Angeles Times' former L.A. Unheard concert series and two Rawkblog SXSW showcases.
I've chosen music and built playlists for spaces, events, radio shows, editorial and Playlist Club, a weekly subscription service I ran from 2011-2013.
Tell me your five favorite bands and I'll send you five more.
Mentoring
I've spoken to students at UCLA, Portland Community College and participated at the Oregonian's High School Journalism Institute.
I believe journalism is a collaboration and am always available to speak to young journalists and photographers. Feel free to get in touch.
