Beyond The Bio: Jay’s Story

How would you describe yourself to someone?

“As any good entrepreneur knows, transparency is key. So, how do I describe myself? Let’s begin with: ‘What you see is what I’ve got.'”


As a father of three, my dedication is clear for anyone to see; you’ll find me walking with my children back and forth to the park, and to and fro from school. There’s really no mystery to me: I’m just a man, 5’7″ and 160 pounds of muscle with a little fat to spare.


When it comes to music, I thrive on keyboards—any keyboard will do, though I particularly love an upright or a concert grand piano. Beyond that, I play a wide array of instruments. I can lay down a beat on a classic American drum set, or accompany with traditional Caribbean congas and other percussion. Over the years, I also picked up several wind instruments like the flute and the Quena, the distinct South American long and short flute. Simply put, I’ve mastered a broad range of instruments, starting with the 88-key standard acoustic upright piano.


Thinking back to my youth, I was an athletic powerhouse who could jump into a “pick-up” game of any sport: soccer, American football, basketball, baseball, tennis, handball, ping-pong, or relay racing, a sport I competed in many times. Now in my 40s, I’ve set aside that all-out athletic lifestyle to embrace being a devoted husband to my wife, a loving father to my children, and a consistent voice right here on WordPress.com.
