My guest for this episode is professional artist David Oquendo who holds an MFA from Montclair State and a BFA from Rutgers. His murals are all over Newark and he's popping up in many solo shows in some notable exhibits such as Solo(s) Project House and the Henao Contemporary Center. He's currently also an art educator through The Robeson Galleries at Rutgers University and an Adjunct Professor at Bard Early College. Dave's a recent BJJ Black Belt and was also the person that introduced me to BJJ. Our history has been quite a long one and we have so many stories to share. One of my favorite things that I share with Dave is that we've both battled with depression & suicide and have come out on top even though both of us have faced failure time and time again. Neither of us gave up and are here today to share our experiences.
