born in 1985, i have called brookhaven, new york home for most of my life. growing up in a quiet hamlet tucked away on the great south bay, i have been afforded a rich relationship to the natural environment around me from the fields, bay, beaches, and ocean. it was in these places which shaped and influenced me through the experiences and personalities encountered throughout time.
in 2003 i pursued an education at roger williams university in rhode island receiving a degree in communications and marketing, finally graduating in 2007.
as of recent, life has been filled with a jumble of jobs, a choice which has allowed me to stay fresh in approach. they have ranged from a store owner, writer, lifeguard, model, and dj. most of these jobs revolve around each other at the same time molded into a fashion that allows me time of recreation and travel.
as for the present and future, i plan on finding ways to develop and procure my writing and photography, all while staying open and fresh to the world around.
