Dustin J. Seibert is a native Detroiter whose journalism career brought him to Rockford in 2004. The University of Michigan graduate moved to the city in 2006 with the intention of reporting and putting into print the city’s bourgeoning hip-hop scene.
He says his dating life has been so interesting and tumultuous that he will write a book about it someday, but for now he plans to share his experiences with the faithful readers. The Hump Day column is his personal experiences with sex, love and affairs of the heart blended with the experiences of others.
You can catch Dustin dodging traffic on his Huffy, catching small-venue hip-hop shows, scarfing down California rolls and Newcastle Brown Ale or scaring people on the street when getting in pointless shouting matches with his “road-dog” Vernal.
