I was born in Natick and grew up in Needham.

My college years were spent at Merrimack College (North Andover, MA). where I worked hard and spent my free time as Editor-In-Chief of the Merrimack College Argus Newspaper and played a couple of seasons for the varsity mens' lacrosse team.

After college I worked briefly for Air France pre and post-9/11. Needless to say it was a "interesting" place to be and experience history first hand.

I spent several years working as a claims adjuster in the insurance industry and now work in the banking industry in the small business lending division.

My hobbies include writing, photography, hiking, enjoying live music out on the town, playing soccer and exploring the world around me.
