About the Author
"Around Here"— Joey Gotchnik is a senior from Cloquet studying materials science and engineering. He enjoys songwriting and the outdoors, and the role that humor takes in everyday life. In the future, he hopes to find the proper balance between science and art--like the relative ratio of root beer to ice cream. In third place, Joey's writing is inspired by Rhonda Willers's mixed media work Lift (2018).
