Modern Business Strategy.
Human connection
is the foundation
for everything I do.
From an early age, I learned the power of
hospitality, community, and the idea that
life is richer when shared with others…

Born Into
Business
I grew up working in my family’s restaurants,
Thorndale Piazza Deli, Ruffini’s, and Café Gap,
where I learned the fundamentals of business
and hospitality.
In 2011, I opened my own restaurant, Pronto,
with my brother Ron.

Connecting
Through Music
For 25+ years, I’ve been a professional musician.
After leading Monacy for 10 years and performing
alongside Page McConnell (Phish), Karl Denson,
and The Greyboy Allstars, I released a Top 50
jazz album with Johnny DeFrancesco.

Building
Community
I was an early podcast pioneer, launching
my first show in 2006 — years before
podcasting was mainstream.
In 2013, I created Drummer’s Resource,
the #1 drumming podcast in the world
and a top-100 global music podcast,
amassing tens of millions of downloads.

Fostering
Great Ideas
I then launched Revoice Media, a full-service
podcast production company, creating content
for best-in-class brands and leading campaigns
with FaZe Clan for legacy clients like Porsche,
Nike, and the NFL.

the company and expand its focus.
Today, we produce commercials, branded content,
TV, and documentaries for clients like MLB and Netflix.

People
& Places
Inspired by my family’s real estate background and
my love for Italian piazzas, I founded Ruffini Capital
to develop retail spaces that foster culture,
commerce, and meaningful human connection.

emotional connections across all touchpoints.

on what it takes to run a successful,
meaningful business that puts
people first.
