I often think about how I come across the people I meet through PensEyeView.com. I have even attempted on numerous occasions to draw a tree from Person A, to B, to Z… to ZZZ and over again to find out how I met them in first place. However, no matter how I met them, the thing that I like… read more

Covering over five hundred artists in under three years, from all over the world, it’s always good to find someone to feature from your own backyard. Even better is when that same band not only leaves the backyard but goes on to become one of the hottest touring acts in music today. The Rockville born - now New York… read more

If you want something bad enough, you have to go after it. Period. Anyone who has been successful has been told by others it will never happen but despite that, the real believers still chased their dreams.

While I wouldn’t be taking the trip up north, I was excited for each of… read more

The phrase, “everything happens for a reason” has never sat well with me. Even when the end result was rewarding, I was never able to look back and say, “I’m so glad that happened.”  Don’t get me wrong, I have always considered myself an optimist but it’s hard to think positive in rough times. Take my first job out… read more
