This last week I got the chance to do something I’ve wanted to do since 1986… Yes, 1986. That was the year I graduated high school and the same year Ferris Bueller’s Day Off arrived in theaters. I must’ve seen that movie a dozen or more times as I worked at a movie theater when […]

Details are extremely important as well as editing and reviewing your work. Let me explain a situation that happened to me several years ago that I can now chuckle about.  But at the time it was mortifying and almost career impacting. In my previous 9 to 5 job position (which was more like 6am to
