About Me:
Outside of my business career as Manager of Administration at Advanced Adhesive Systems, Inc. — a custom formulator and manufacturer of engineered adhesives and sealants — I enjoy a widely varied assortment of activities and pursuits. I am active in a number of civic organizations, including the World Affairs Council, Harvard Club of Northern Connecticut, and MIT Enterprise Forum.
As a volunteer member of WWUH Radio 91.3 FM, a public alternative radio station operated as a community service by the University of Hartford, I serve as a classical music announcer. I was the producer and host of "What You Will" — the Friday edition of "Evening Classics" — from May 2003 until May 2007. My program was focused on twentieth-century and contemporary chamber music, as well as music for solo instrument and voice. During the course of these more than 200 broadcasts, virtually all of the major string quartet cycles composed in the twentieth-century were played on WWUH Radio. There is probably no other music program on radio that can make a similar claim in the exploration of this engaging and sometimes challenging music. You can view extracts of my final broadcast in the current series of "What You Will" at YouTube.com by searching for WWUH.

Who I Want to Meet:
Business Networking:
Business networking is of particular interest to me, and I'd like to link up with members of the business, academic research, venture capital, financial, and legal communities to explore new ventures using Web 2.0 as the enabling medium for developing and transacting business around the globe.
Activities and Pursuits:
I'm interested in meeting new and interesting people from around the world. Within the realm of my hobbies and interests, I’d enjoy swapping ideas and anecdotes with others involved in radio broadcasting.
