PYL Series: Mike Borell

Look at this Legend.

?a skinny little brace-faced punk rock teeny bopper with a terrible haircut and the most prized possession of his life, his new guitar. That legend is me and this moment captured in time was pivotal.

I grew up obsessed with sports. I played practically everything you could sign up for in a regular suburban town and I was actively participating in athletics year-round. Fast forward to the time of that awesomely awkward photograph and all that changed. It was during this time in my life that I decided to give up athletics and focus on the one thing that made me feel more alive than anything else in the world ? music.
