About Me

I'm very quiet, but I'll talk your ear off if you allow me. My degree is in creative writing, but I'm not that creative and I don't do much writing, though I'm attempting to change that, in spite of the fact that motivation and inspiration come and go so quickly that moments become increasingly difficult to capture. I work very hard, perhaps too hard and definitely too much, bartending and managing Founders Brewing Company, booking shows and pouring beers, trying to make the place and myself better. center>

My Interests
