About C.R.A.D. Global Ventures LLC
Empowering Creativity, Expanding Possibilities
For as long as I can remember, my brain has been buzzing with ideas—nonstop, relentless, and sometimes overwhelming. It’s time to channel all that energy into something impactful: C.R.A.D. Global Ventures LLC.
This company represents a lifetime of dreaming big, working hard, and never settling. The name itself carries a legacy close to my heart. Growing up, my mom’s license plate proudly displayed “CRAD,” and so did my sisters, taking the tradition with them when they moved out. Years later, I got my own “CRAD” vanity plate in New York City—a reminder of where I came from and the values that shaped me.
I’ve always admired people who started with just an idea and turned it into an empire. I wanted the same for myself, not just to build something but to create opportunities for others, to help people dream bigger and achieve more. That’s why I started Broadway Drumming 101, a resource for musicians looking to break into theater. It was just the beginning. My mind never stops racing, and I knew I could do more—so much more.
In late 2024, I officially launched C.R.A.D. Global Ventures LLC to bring all my ideas under one roof. This is more than a company; it’s a movement. We’re growing fast—so fast it’s hard to keep up sometimes—and I’m thrilled to share this journey with the world.
