Get to Know: Todd Olson

What are five adjectives that describe you?

Ugh this is the worst question there is. No matter what I put here it’s just going to be how I want people to think of me and not how I actually am. If you really want to get to know me, meet me at a show and you [...]

How did you get started on music committee?
Patrick sold it to me at SOAR. He actually told my mom that it was way better than joining WSUM and I listened.
What drives you to get involved as a member of the music committee?
I enjoy getting involved because it makes me feel productive–I get way more [...]
