In 2017, my production company workshopped and produced an original show called Brotherhood off-broadway in association with the Araca Group. I feel like a proud dad every time I talk about the show - it was so thrilling to breathe life into it and watch it grow.

I went to Hawaii last year, and it was my first time seeing the Pacific Ocean. Magical.
