I am a true entrepreneur and your classic visionary in every sense. A musician from the age of 5, at the tender age of 18 I signed my first record deal and became a professional musician. My band Baddax had multiple releases in the 1990’s with minor success, and toured throughout the country. I then spent the next few years as a professional screenwriter with 2 scripts optioned, as well as ghostwriting for other scripts. I have owned multiple businesses throughout my career, ranging from construction to sales/marketing, and of course, the entertainment industry. I made the switch to vaping in 2007 and stared perfecting the craft of making the ultimate eliquids. I founded Innevape Eliquids in 2012 with the singular mission of changing people’s lives for the better, the way vaping has changed mine.
