❃ Who is this guy, really? ❃
As a married father of three kids in their 20s, I’m equally comfortable ‘doing the voices’ as I am talking about things like tech, all-age education, world challenges and debating which “I Think You Should Leave” skit is the best one.
We live in Northern VA, I’m a rabid Steelers fan**, possess a ‘will-you-shut-up-about-it-already’ passion for music, volunteer for charitable orgs (including a non-profit film festival that donates its proceeds to charity), work annually to knock things off my written-out bucket list, mentor local K-12 students and unpredictably laugh uncontrollably at something I remembered I said years ago.
I look forward to the chance to have some fun and create amazing things together
**Steelers became my team when I won a childhood bet with the playground bully where I grew up in Columbia, MD.
PS Never saw the money but the bully’s nickname was ‘Lucky’ which would have thus rendered his nickname untrue so I can see how that wasn’t going to pan out
