Well I have been a Muppet fan since about 12 years old. I would wake up early just to watch the original Muppet Show. That Christmas my Grandma gave me my first puppet and I have been hooked ever since. I will say I wanted to always work with Jim Henson growing up and even tried to find a place so I could be a puppeteer for a profession. No one helped me and even got close but couldn't find the program at Connecticut University but it wasn't meant to be. The same year I was a senior Jim Henson died and I didn't pursue it. I felt like it just wasn't meant to be and I just enjoy engaging children with puppets for fun.
