Armistead Booker’s Summary

Hi, I'm Armistead Booker. I live, laugh and play in New York City, rescuing damsels in distress, doing daring deeds, and saving the world: one community connection and one exciting design at a time. Occasionally, you'll find me watching one of these, goofing off in the kitchen, moving and grooving, catching a frisbee, sliding down a mountain, watching the stars, eating out, worshipping, learning, and listening. "Rarely," says Kevin Johnson, "does Armistead actually sleep." (Meh. I get enough.)
