Inspired baggy-jeans misfit from the lunatic fringe of Chicago. Professional graduate student at the mercy of life, grades, and professors, attempting to sound my barbaric yawp from the rooftops of the world. Hopeless romantic, journalist (radio and print, and both for independent music) musician, writer, poet, rapper, nerd/geek, sneakerhead, independent clothing label supporter and general outspoken citizen…looking to not only alert the masses that there is hope and music is strong, but that chivalry is not dead, hip-hop is not watered down (depends on the hip-hop you’re addicted to), love is all-powerful, anime is the future, and that arrogance and prejudice destroy people one stereotype at a time.

And if all else fails: 6’4”, 200 lbs., Ghananian-Greek-Irish descent.
