A Bit About Me
I'm a journalist and photographer who originally grew up in Connecticut with my mom, dad and Golden Retrievers. I've never shied away from hard work and started showing an interest in photography from an early age. I later took that interest and applied it to another love of mine: writing down facts and stories. My one goal? Help make the world a truer, more honest place through writing and photography.
Things to Know About Me:
Favorite Movie: Chicken Run
Favorite Music: Anything but I also like Broadway music
Favorite Food: Sushi
Favorite Hobbies: Piano, skiing, photography, biking, anything to do with music
