I'm Michael. I teach English at a university in Tempe, Arizona, the name of which rhymes with Fairizona Spate and Japanese martial arts in Mesa. I'm also a writer and musician looking to break into something more creative than higher ed. I welcome any advice or connections.
More creative than higher ed? Thanks for leaving an impact on young minds. I give up. :) If you're a screenwriter, then the best advice that you will hear a billion times is "keep on writing, keep on researching, keep on pitching" as a film composer, you may want to connect with some filmmakers on the site (or even some student filmmakers) and offer your services.
