Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

This year I had the opportunity to play drums with 33Miles for the 2008 Dove Awards ceremony. It was my first nationally televised event. I had a great time. I was only on for about 40 seconds, so watch close, the first drummer playing the black drum kit is yours truly.

Take a break today, get a cone…

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

You deserve a break today, and what a better way to take that break by dropping by your neighborhood Ben and Jerry’s ice cream stand (thankfully, our offices are a mere 72 steps from a B&J location) for free cone day.

The Talent Paradox

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008
