I got to see an Indigo Girls concert at Summer Stages in Central Park last week w… Continue

A great place to kick back and leave the city behind. I secured a great rental and convinced 11 close friends to make the journey… Continue

To kick off my June, I headed down to Atlanta to participate in one of the best week long performing programs I’ve ever been a part of: Broadway Dreams Foundation Summer Performing Arts Intensive.
Run by Atlanta-based founder and producer, Annette Tanner, this organization gives kids an amazing opportunity to prepare for careers in theater and to perform alongside Broadway artists. This year’s amazing faculty included Diana DeGarmo, Eden Espinosa, Billy Porter, Carlos Encinia… Continue

Possibility University is a very different type of "Group".
My hope for Possibility University is that it will draw in successful creative people that are willing to share some of the knowledge that they have gained in the pursuit of there dreams. Provide a place for talented young people to explore their possibilities and learn from the people they hope to be like, ask questions and get positive answers from real mentors.
Explore the future and make a difference in someone’s life. Share your unique knowledge in a place were everything is expected and anything is possibility.
Come help me "spread the art of possibility."
