About Me

ABOUT ME

Originally from NYC... been in Boston for over 20 years now !! Same old story... came here for school... made some friends... decided to stick around :-) What's my story? I'm a collection of contradictions: born and raised in NYC.. Yankees/Giants fan.. living in Boston... Celtics/Patriots fan. Grew up in the hood (Bed-Sty Brooklyn in the house) listening to old school rap and R&B... went to school at MIT listening to classic rock and heavy metal. Hardcore techno-nerd, can talk your friggin ear off about all things computer... 5 years of Rugby in school, have a social life, can carry on a conversation and I play the drums. What can I say... I like being well rounded :-)
