Must you be a convict to want to hide or tailor your past, to begin anew? My path has been circuitous, and as I seek to advance toward realizing my dreams, which require the collaboration of many, I find myself wanting to be understood. I want to share my experiences and strengths and understand those of would be collaborators so that we may lean upon our respective strengths and form a tightly woven team that can exceed expectation and generate real art. What I find is that circuitous paths don't fit well in machinations of most without a great deal of illustration.

You may derive from my résumé that I've been distracted, at times, from my most fervent dreams, that I've thrown myself at tangents. I've been lost.

When I was five years old I woke early to a beautiful, foreign, tenor voice. It was the voice of Vladimir Grishko, a Ukrainian opera singer.

Over the years I've devoured in various forms, Les Misérables and The Count of Monte Cristo, they're two of the most impactful stories to my life. Recently I realized that I had never read their quintessential novel forms. This month I've taken this as my assignment.

Focus is my struggle.

Sometimes I’m scared to chase what I believe is my destiny.
