Bio for Writing Class

Lloyd speaks with a commanding whisper. A soft-spoken voice for a life lived out loud. I had to lean in to catch everything, but with tales of star-crossed romantic encounters, Eastern-inspired spiritual journeys, and thoughtful appreciation for the vibrant life around him, I found myself hanging onto every word. Each white hair seems to symbolize one of Lloyd’s adventures. Studying under a percussion virtuoso. Teaching autistic students. … Surfing. Being married. Each is treated with the same balanced, pensive weight.
