Rod grew up in Boston's backyard – "Milltown" Lowell, MA - following the Red Sox and fostering a love for movies and music. That passion brought him to Emerson College where he graduated with a degree in Marketing & PR. His love for entertainment brought Rod to Los Angeles where he landed an internship at the Agency for the Performing Arts in his final semester at Emerson.
After completing his internship, Rod was hired as an agent's assistant to one of APA’s top bookers. He soon switched over to become the assistant to the head of the comedy department. Rod stayed at APA for two years before finally tiring of Los Angeles. Then, Rod spent nearly a year enjoying the live music scene in Austin, TX on his way back to his Boston home. Now Rod has joined up with AEI as an agent, re-stocked his closet with coats and scarves, and is preparing for baseball season.
