About me...

http://www.makinmusicny.com/

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Here's a little information about me...

Despite the fact that I'm extremely involved with music in the NY/NJ area today, I am not a musician.

I am a former Operations Manager, Engineer, and Adjunct Professor and today I do consulting work, volunteer, and now run the Web Music Community. Over the years, I have befriended some pretty amazing musicians. My music community is my way of thanking them for the many hours of enjoyment they have given me.

My Favorite Music:
Since this is a social network, and the question is usually asked, here goes:
There is only good music & bad music.
I have a very diverse music collection, but favor music with meter and melody. I listen to everything from Monk to Muddy Waters to Metal to Mozart & everything in between.

Education:
Wagner College - Staten Island, NY
MBA - Business Administration - 2000

George Washington University - Washington,DC
Master’s Certificate in Project Management - 1999

Polytechnic University - Hawthorne, NY
MS - Telecommunications & Computing Management - 1995

Cuny Bernard M Baruch College - New York, NY
BBA - Human Resource Management / Psychology - 1974

A former Operations Manager, Engineer, and Adjunct Professor, I enjoy writing, camping, sports, and music. Today, I do consulting work and run the Web Music Community. This is my way of thanking my musician friends for the many hours of enjoyment they have given me.
