After months of preparation and deliberation, John English, president of TAD.ORG, has chosen me to be the main driving force, the fulcrum for the Kansas City, Missouri POD! This is such a huge honor and opportunity to be working along side the dedicated faculty of TAD as well as the impressive students. I look forward to working with you both as I continue down my own path of being the best artist I can be. See you all July 12th!
