ROCK ’N’ ROLL.
Worn for life.

From my family’s Winterland roots to my work at Global, I build relationships between artists, brands and fans — with the rock-and-roll T-shirt at the heart of the story.

03 Roots

It started
backstage.

Music and merchandise are part of my family’s story.

My roots reach back to Winterland Productions and its early work with the Grateful Dead. Growing up around that world shaped how I think about music: the show matters, and so does the connection people take home.

Today, that perspective informs my work across artist relationships, licensing, merchandise, and storytelling.
