He's the founder of Say Less Records & event "Say Less Dance More" running for over 5 years & residing at the Liaison Room in Philadelphia. He is also the founder/curator of Love Portal. A ceremonial gathering focused on creating vibrational healing spaces in the form of ecstatic dances, sound baths, and more.
