We've become a nation of solitary individuals, cut off from the very spaces and rituals that once made us whole.

Solitary American explores how we got here and how we get back by examining the policies, design decisions, and cultural forces that either foster human connection or fragment it entirely in narrative.

From dive bars strangled by permits to music venues closed by noise complaints, from the demonization of spirits to the algorithmic curation of community, we're documenting the systematic dismantling of the infrastructure that brings people together.

But this isn't just cultural criticism. It's a blueprint for rebuilding.

Through the lens of hospitality, policy, and the sacred art of gathering, we'll explore what it means to design a society that creates belonging instead of isolation. Because the infrastructure of human connection is broken, but infrastructure can be rebuilt.

Channelshift is my consumer agency. We've spent the last decade in the trenches with founders, building, testing, and perfecting growth strategies that consistently deliver results. While everyone else chases quick wins and trending tactics, we're focused on creating sustainable systems that scale.

In 2016, I undertook the rebranding of the ancient spiritual tradition of Kabbalah. Once a protected spiritual practice known only to a small group of initiates, Kabbalah is now one of the world's leading spiritual practices.

It merges practical everyday concerns with esoteric mystical knowledge protected through the ages. It counts name-brand business leaders, celebrities, as well as the common Jane and Joe, as students, with centers in 17 countries speaking 12 languages on every inhabited continent.

Through my own practice, I became a dedicated student and then their chief marketing officer, where I led the rebranding, modernization, and development of their first masterclass in partnership with Milk Studios. It remains one of my proudest creative and managerial achievements.

In 2004, I started throwing my first parties in Miami, Florida. By 2012, my team and I had created nearly a half dozen international brands and developed one of the most notable organizations in the underground music scene, just as EDM was repopularizing in North America. Our two most notable brands, CRUSH and PULP, were sold off in 2012 when I retired as a DJ and promoter.

Keepsake was an American emo/screamo band formed in 1997 by me, Mark Silva, and Duane Hosein in Coral Springs, Florida. We released our first record on Eulogy Recordings, an imprint of Sony, when I was 15, and the core group went on to produce two more records until I left in 2001. I continued to produce punk and hardcore bands for a few more years before turning my attention to dance music.

I was employee number 24 at Grooveshark, and the people I met there fueled my passion to create technology for years thereafter. I went on to build a project called Sociali.st with my partner John Ashenden and Sponsr with my partner Mike Feinberg--both of whom I worked with at Grooveshark. After the lawsuits, many on the Grooveshark team went on to build the next generation of Silicon Valley superstars.
