Writing
I run a site/community called The Punk Rock MBA that focuses on career advice for kids who grew up on punk, skateboarding, graffiti, and DIY culture. I also write about music, art, design, and youth culture for a variety of print and online outlets including Decibel, Terrorizer, Substream, Metal Sucks, and Party Smasher Inc. All totaled, I've written something like two dozen print stories and over 2000 blog posts (yep, 2000). Here's a few of my favorites:
