I was born and raised in West Bethlehem, where I developed an interest in history and the weather. I graduated from Notre Dame High School in 2002 and got an Associate's in Liberal Arts from Northampton Community College in 2007, after taking a few breaks in my formal education. I have worked numerous dead-end, low-wage jobs but am an astute observer of human nature who loves to think philosophically about human life.
I am a people person who maintains an active social life. I was sheltered and quiet until around the time I turned 24. Then I tried to interact with other people more. I started hanging out at local bars and clubs and did the party scene for a while. I especially loved local dive bars, where I made numerous friends and acquaintances, many of which I still have to this day. I also got to meet some of Bethlehem's oddball citizens and was able to learn a great deal about the darker side of humanity.
Around this time, I also started frequenting local coffee shops, starting with Wired Cafe. There I got more into reading periodicals and newspapers and became very interested in Bohemian culture. I was exposed to the local punk scene and to progressive politics, which I later ended up adopting. Now, politics is a unifying factor within my interconnected circles of friends, and I consider myself fairly versed in the subject.
