One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Produced a film that got into Comic Con International Film Fest and they gave us free weekend passes. There, I met the creators of Venture Bros. and got signed swag. But the real highlight of that trip was wandering around the comics area and I recognized the director, my hero, Werner Herzog and I went up to him and we chatted about comic-con! Life is grand.

Lived in Madrid, Spain on my own for 7 months, teaching english through art
