Javier C. Rivera reminds me of the Renaissance men of years gone by; he seems to be able to flow from one art form to another almost effortlessly. Javier and I met about twelve years ago as students at UW-Parkside. We became fast friends, and I always had a sense that one day he was going to accomplish some great things. We lost touch for a while, but fortunately, we reconnected and recently started catching up. I was amazed to see just how right I was–in just a few years time, he‘s become an accomplished director, author and musician. Though Javier moved to Austin, Texas about three years ago, he spent most of his childhood and young adult life in Kenosha. So sit back, relax, and allow me to introduce you to a former local who’s making his dreams happen.
