My name is Ronen Kauffman and I live in Jersey City, NJ, USA. As far back as I can recall I've been working with media. Over the years I've worked as a writer, editor, publisher and independent consultant for various publications, including my own. Today I teach, write, and sometimes play in a band called Zombie Apocalypse. I like to stay busy.

I wrote a book called New Brunswick, New Jersey, Goodbye - Bands, Dirty Basements and the Search for Self. It's a memoir about music and friends and has some cool photos, too. The book is available from Hopeless/SubCity. Sub City Records and I will donate 5% of the SRLP of this release to the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation.

I produce and host a podcast called

Issue Oriented. The show exists in a space between music and ideas, and is never boring or pointless. Thousands of people currently tune in to each episode. Check out the website and myspace.
