Stagehand

Mick Jagger, Tony Bennett, Michael Jackson and Prince, I have worked with them all. Along with actors such as Michelle Rodriguez, Will Smith, and Roddy McDowall. And many more. I traveled around the world: scuba diving with hammerhead sharks, trekked through jungles to ancient ruins, and cycled up mountains. I've worked as a stagehand for over forty years. Too bad I didn't realize how good life was until after my girlfriend of eighteen years dumped me. Then I stopped to take a look back at my life and see what made it worth living again.
