Bio (html accepted)

I'm a huge advocate for the arts and my personal mission is to help foster and galvanize the creative communities and industries of the Washington DC metro area. I launched Genki Media LLC in March 2010 in order to incubate innovative arts-related business ventures within the Washington DC metro-area. Genki Media LLC is a for profit venture with the goal of developing and advancing the region's creative scene, industries, economy and outreach to at-risk youth, via interactive and innovative creative pursuits and strategic partnerships leveraging local creative talent and the greater Metro area's almost 3 million person strong consumer base.

Via Washington Life Magazine Group, I'm involved in the monthly creation and monetization of "Washington Life magazine," the continued development and management of WLOnline, WLDigital, and the production of video content for WLTV. I'm interested in networking and build relationships in the following areas: strategic partnerships, all aspects of WL's lifestyle focused editorial, advertising, sponsorships, video and television co-productions, philanthropy, charity, and event management.
