Britt and his team had been searching for the right candidate to fill the newly created manager position for months and heard of Lindo through Soul on Ice: Past, Present & Future director Damon Kwame Mason. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It was perfect timing as my program was coming to an end, and I was struggling to figure out what path to go down,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Lindo says.
