an MTV Veejay.
I’m inspired by…
my five-year-old, the eternal optimist.
The one person who motivates me is…
the man upstairs.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
removing pineapple as a pizza topping.
The perfect day would be…

My first job…
was scooping ice cream and burning my fingers rolling waffle cones.
My favorite escape…
is watching the videos they used to show on MTV. Ah Ha anyone?
My life…
