I got into Up With People through the show.
I joined Up With People because:
I wanted a new challenge. and it looked like a lot of fun. It was probably the biggest challenge emotionally I've ever completed.
Favorite memory from staging:
Learning to dance with hundreds of other rookies; back of the gym with the other no step jocks.
Favorite city during our tour and why:
One of my top experiences was Rome, Italy. Not a month goes by I don't remember something from our time in the city.
Since Up With People I am:
happily single.
Occupation:
Construction-film industry
Greatest Accomplishments since UWP:
Bring a sense of stability to my everyday. Finally finding a life direction.
What you are doing now:
Working for a display/props company in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We design and build props for conventions and the film industry. Upcoming this fall we will be building 8 parade floats for the Hollywood Christmas Parade.
Other:
The years after UWP were a large struggle; battling depression, alcohol abuse and general disregard for my personal being. But since the last reunion in Denver I've been able to krush my personal demons and find what I really want to be. I future goals include returning to school to finish interior design and continuing to enjoy life. Hope all of you are well and happy.
