I’ve been in this racket since 1980 and even dating back to junior high school, I’ve been exposed to celebrities, politicians, actors, directors, producers, etc. My first interview was with Harry Chapin when he played a benefit at the high school and since then, there have been some really cool moments and opportunities.

Minnesota’s Stone Arch Books has licensed DC’s heroes for a series of chapter books for younger readers with the first […]
I’m home safe and sound. It was a great adventure with a very long, tiring final day.
Our penultimate day saw us eating more good food, driving through horrendous rain and see some amazing sights.
