    Guitar Center Portland 198 Maine Mall Rd. Portland, ME
    Bruce Tracy (AKA Peeter Parkker's) life changed when he was bit by a radioactive turntable giving him superhuman artistic abilities.

Some of these careers include staff member/teacher for USM, Bates college, Bowdoin College, and Portland Public Schools, playing music in the band Miravie, a 25 year DJ career, and project manager for high end A/V company Tucker and Tucker. Under the monicker Thunder, he helped bring true hip hop into Maine being the 1st ever full time hip hop dance instructor. He spends his free time with his family, mountain biking, drawing and creating comics, and playing in the band Sugarbox: a high energy hip hop/dance band.
