Best advice you ever received?

What do you consider your biggest break so far?
Jim McPherson not only letting me into his workshops but making me feel welcome and a part of this arts community. All leads back to Jim.

What’s the biggest issue facing the Corridor, and why?
Climate change and renewable energy, for all the reasons.
If you had $1 million to give, what causes would you support?
Not just efforts to oust Steve King from his post, but the programs and initiatives it takes to end the thoughts and ways that lead to voters and citizens supporting and voting for him and others like him.

Independent literature, live music, film, my five nieces. Go Hawks! Skol Vikings.
