Killed by Desk

12 Spag - Senior Principal, Practice Leader of Interior Design (Two Man Advantage)

Episode Summary

Here it is - the suit and tie hardcore company man we promised in the trailer! For those who only know Spag from his years singing for hockey punk legends Two Man Advantage, however, it may be hard to even picture him in a suit and tie. During the day, however, Spag has been working for the same international architecture firm for 25 years, making other’s work-life better by designing innovative and functional office spaces in New York City. Originally enrolled in vocational high school programs, he managed to not only make it as a designer, but eventually move on to management by learning on the job. Spag is a great example of how one can find their passion outside of music yet apply the same creativity, attention to detail and execution anyone would expect from the most entertaining hockey themed hardcore band in history, For Full Length Episodes And Merchandise Go To https://www.patreon.com/killedbydesk Follow: Killed By Desk Insta: @killedbydeskpodcast Twitter: @killedbydesk Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/killedbydesk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/killedbydesk
