In June 2012, I was a veritable mess when I moved back home to Philly from Florida, to live w my folks and help care for my then-ailing father Lloyd. In my mid 30's, & it was the beginning of a rather troubled chapter in my life, watching my dad's dementia take shape on the daily while self-medicating in those old and destructive ways. Darkness fell, the seasons changed... yet amid the storm clouds, a ray of sunlight... a stranger threw me a lifeline, in the form of a promo/marketing job at the now-defunct Philly music venue The Blockley. That benevolent soul was @chipsperella , now the owner/talent buyer of Ardmore Music Hall. Chris Perella's blind faith in me at such a turbulent time played an enormous role in propelling me onward & upward in my journey, professionally and personally. CP is a gentleman and a scholar. And now a husband, father, homeowner, and safe to say, independent Philly music mogul. Find out how it all came together for this fantastic fella, plus hilarious stories and beautiful memories with my former boss and forever friend on Episode 002 of *The Upful Life Podcast* from Oct. 2018.
