About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take over the world.

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm a third year student at the University of Rhode Island and am on the five year plan. Recently, I declared my major in English after two years of slacking. Currently I am in the process of writing my first feature length screenplay involving zombies. I am an avid film viewer and feel that they are very important to the world we live in. Part of the allure to film is that one can have an outer body experience for a couple of hours and suspend disbelief only to be captured in a way that seems to be only a dream. In the future I hope to become a writer/director out in California for a portion of this short life. I am an easy going kid and love to hang out. I love hitting the bars and clubs, but also do not mind staying in. I am open minded and am always down for a good conversation especially those time old philosophical ones. On top of this, I have been studing magic for some years now. I am accomplished mainly with sleight of hand involving a deck of cards. It is amazing that a simple deck of cards can be manipulated and do some amazing things. Recently, I've always been mentoring a high school in Rhode Island. I work in a photography class and with 6 kids that have become a huge part of my life. This life is beautiful and am happy to be a part of it!

Hit me up on the Book of Face.
