About Me

HEY GO TO THIS!!


marketing consultant and artist manager. labors of love: community.art.serve the people. though i must say, the marketing part takes up a lot of time (good thing i enjoy it). i'm in the midst of recalibrating and finding new balance so my labors of love aren't as neglected.

My Interests
