“I am a traveling stagehand. I get to travel and enjoy music for free. I build stages from the ground up and worked the Guns N’ Roses show in Buffalo, New York in August. What I spend a week building is experienced by tens of thousands of people and I still get goosebumps hearing the buzz in the speakers during soundcheck. I have met so many people who have found meaning in lyrics and I like being a part of that. My passion is cooking. I want to cook everywhere and travel to festivals and cook. Food and music feed the soul. I want to help feed them and make them happy. I was a cook at Waffle House a few years ago. One of my regulars came in and told me about being a stagehand so I gave it a try. Happy people is the ultimate goal. People who are happy and open create a more put together community.”
