Visited Hickey Elementary School in northeast Las Vegas. Got inspired. Went home. Wrote a story. Tried the traditional publishing route. Looked promising for a bit but ultimately didn't turn out. Wouldn't take "no" for an answer. Met Joseph Watson. Loved his work. Have been partnered ever since. The last five years have been spent creating and developing a local following. Now it's time to turn the corner.
