My current area of interest is cultivating and harnessing the creative spirit of school communities in support of student achievement. In an effort to cultivate my own creative spirit, I am currently writing and recording a song cycle based around the ukulele tentatively called Pop Songs for the Plague…really poppy stuff, I swear…
