This week on ReInvention Stories we meet Shane Anderson, owner of Ghostlight Coffee on Wayne Avenue in Dayton's South Park neighborhood.
In high school, Anderson dreamed of becoming a band director, which, he did. Anderson was a band director and music teacher for fourteen years. Most of that time was spent at Miami East High School and Vandalia-Butler High School. But he had another dream, of one day running a coffee shop. And he wanted to quit teaching before getting too burnt out.
Since this story was first broadcast in May, Shane Anderson tells us he fell in love and moved to the suburbs. Ghostlight Coffee is celebrating its two-year anniversary next month.
This ReInvention Story was produced by Juliet Fromholt, Julia Reichert, Niki Dakota, and Sarah Buckingham.
