The first year of the third decade of my life will be behind me this time next week. The thirties are a weird space where society’s habit is to paint you as old while those older and more experienced insist that you’re young. I hope this indicates a zenith of sorts. A point at which one has accumulated some wisdom and still has the energy to employ it. I feel hopeful, inspired, and purposeful at this time in my life. The path before me yields vague and pleasant shapes, and I have the most and best company with which to explore them. Feeling like I couldn’t ask for more!
Current Goals: Development and execution of permanent Pay What You Can community music services infrastructure; continuing education in nonprofit organization, social justice reform, music business and performance; record LIKE A MOTH; compose prequel; mentorship & collaborations; content curation; personal & systemic wellbeing.
