For guests, I always...Strive to make your stay what you are looking for

After years working in education and music in Chicago, it is exciting to do something new! Thanks for being our guests - we’re thrilled to have you!

Hi everyone, I am reposting from my personal account, because I thought people might wanna know that I have developed an amazing home renovation team over the last four years. If you need a recommendation for someone to do some work on your home, please let me know.

I’m not sure about the beard... on Dean not me by the way. But I am proud of what my dining room looks like these days.Where whoever happens to be working with us at the house can hang out and make music. If anyone would like any recommendations for craftsman that are true professionals – feel free to private message me.
