I am a lifelong resident of Kent and a current full time employee in the Kent State University Library where I have worked for the last 12 years. I also wrote for The Cleveland Free Times (now the Cleveland Scene) from 2003 to 2005 and had around 50 pieces published dealing with art and music.

I hold a degree in Art History from Kent State and I play bass guitar in the band Mark David and The Nightly Lights.

For the last few years I have done some pretty heavy duty research into the music and art history of the city of Kent and Kent State University and I love sharing all of the extraordinary things I have learned.
