#63. 365 Day Challenge - Day 2: Colin Grube

Today we take a look at my partner in crime, Mr. Colin Grube.

Who may or may not be The Joker.

Many of you are probably at least familiar with Flying V, my theater company dedicated to Awesomeness as a Theatrical Concept. And you may well know that Colin is an important part of the V as Associate Producer and Board Chair.

But what you may NOT know is that without Colin there would be no Flying V at all.

It was Colin who took Become What You Are (our first show) and pushed to create something longer and more lasting than a single show. And it was very much Colin's faith, belief, and support in me as a person and an artist that gave me the courage to actually put a flag in the sand and do this. We've been fighting on the front lines ever since - having pulled a company of tremendous artists that is in the process of producing it's third show in seven months basically out of our asses.

I don't honestly know what I did to deserve the kind of tremendous loyalty and support - emotionally, artistically, financially - that Colin has given and continues to give me. He already has his hands full being an extraordinarally hard working artist in his own right, a tremendous friend to so many others, and most importantly a father and husband one should aspire to be (and I can't stress that enough). But whatever it is, my goal is to never let him down. He is a very good man and someone I tremendously respect. His friendship, and his belief in me, drives me to make Flying V something worthy of both our legacies.

I don't have any pictures of us together. That should probably change.
