I am a lifelong music obsessive, with vast knowledge and love of many eras and genres of sound, from 12th-century hymns to 21st-century hip-hop. As I was born in 1964, rock and roll will always be my bedrock, but I am also deeply engaged with the work of living composers. For over a decade, I have been sharing the finest music of our time (and some other times) at AnEarful, now published on Substack. My podcast, Discover Music with AnEarful, is an extension of that. By day, I am a nonprofit executive working to make the world healthier at the Mount Sinai Health System in NYC. I am a native New Yorker, husband of one, and father of three.
