What was your first job?
My first job was at an FM radio station. I started as a DJ, spinning tunes back before mobile devices and the internet made it all so easy. For this reason, I have an appreciation for quality audio production. I’ve always been drawn to it, and I know how important it is to make it right.

I’m a fan of Spotify. It’s designed well, looks great, and I find it to be the most functional and enjoyable to use. I tend to jump from podcasts to music throughout the day. Spotify makes this easy.
What docuseries have you enjoyed recently?
The Innocence Files, Ancient Apocalypse, and a good re-watch of my all-time favorite: Survivorman from Les Stroud. I would love to invite readers to check out my documentary film, The Edge of Adventure with Adam Asher, streaming now on Prime, Apple TV and Tubi.
