Arowana Fish, the most powerful fish used in feng shui. In Chinese, the Arowana is called Kam Lung Yue which means Golden Dragon Fish. It has large shiny scales that resemble the powerful and mythical dragon, normally seen sitting on a bed of coins. It symbolizes prosperity, wealth, strength and power.

BRICK gave me that fish when I directed BRICK: Further North (Read the only BRICK link left)

That fish has been on my desk for the last 8 years.

My first job directing sketch comedy in Chicago gave me an opportunity to work with Cayne Collier, Tim Mason, Marion Oberle and Megan Kellie — 4 amazingly talented performers and comedy writers, and Jen Taylor — one of the most dedicated and talented Technical Directors I know. I took the opportunity to direct BRICK without any real payment and worked full time for weeks; I just wanted to prove that I could do it.

I am thankful that an ensemble of veteran performers that I myself looked up to took a chance on a new director. After that show I have taken every opportunity that comes my way, I’ve been grateful for the work, and I always thank the fish on my desk for the new (Now mostly PAID) chances to prove myself.

BRICK took a chance that I did not take for granted.
