It was my first day at Peabody High School and so far so good. However, this next period was a little tricky. A “directive” was set in my heart to get to the next class as quickly as possible. I rushed up or down some […]

I was in full “record everyone that walks into the studio” mode in 2011. I was working on so many creative projects and meeting new and talented people throughout the DMV. It was such an exciting time for sure. I was helping a group of […]
