I’m a former radio broadcaster, Loose Moose Theatre alumni, former strip club DJ, former professional musician, former college instructor, an IT manager, and now a cannabis store manager.
I spent most of 2017 and 2018 experimenting with unemployment. I grew a sweet beard, wrote some stories, and got some serious dawg walkin’ done.
I now work in retail cannabis. It’s fun and the people I work with are cool for the most part. Less money than IT, but also less suicidal ideation.
All along, all I’ve really wanted to be is a writer. So now I tell people that’s what I am, even though I haven’t earned a dime being a writer.
That being said, once a day, every day, I wish I was still a musician. That was the one time in my life when I was cool.
