Some Gooder News

Written, Directed, and Edited by myself. Thankful for the amazing high schoolers that helped with this project! Shot using a Canon Mark V and edited on Adobe PremierePro.

Are Leaders Born or Made?

I never really like the word ‘or’ in questions. Most of the time, I find the answer lies somewhere in the middle and not at either extreme as presented. With that mindset, I suggest we look at this as a spectrum, and I will examine both sides of the question, as well as what theContinue reading “Are Leaders Born or Made?”

TalkContinue reading “Descendants: Isle of the Lost Book Review”

A Twisted Tale: Once Upon A Dream Book Review

This was a pretty good read. Definitely not a groundbreaking book or one that your life wouldn’t be complete without reading, but it was very entertaining. Summary (with spoilers) for the next little bit. Basically, Philip falls asleep upon kissing Aurora and enters into a shared dream with her and the rest of the kingdomContinue reading “A Twisted Tale: Once Upon A Dream Book Review”

Plague Land Book Review

Wow. Okay. I really liked this book. Like, I didn’t expect to like it that much…I grabbed it at my local library because the cover was intriguing….but once I started I couldn’t put it down. The premise revolves around Leon, a kid with all kinds of deep-seated issues, many of which stem from his parents’Continue reading “Plague Land Book Review”

Foodie Fest Promo Materials

We had local food vendors come by and sell goodies, and also had a presentation by a very successful local chef. All promo materials created on Adobe Illustrator. Any vectors were used courtesy of FlatContinue reading “Foodie Fest Promo Materials”
