I was born in Westport, Connecticut, in 1977. A graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and former U.S. Army officer, I currently reside in my hometown, where I'm collaborating on a screenplay and working on my second book. 
In a few weeks, I’m off to Morocco with the Peace Corps. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure how my life has brought me to this point. In High School, I was something of an aspiring goob. If you told that kid back then that he’d end up going to West Point and later on the Peace Corps, I’m certain he’d just laugh and think you crazy. Sometimes, life brings us to totally unexpected places, and in a totally unpredictable fashion (but I guess that’s what keeps it exciting!). I mean, seven years ago, I was lying on my parents’ couch, certain that my life was more or less over from my battles with addiction. Now, I’m headed to North Africa to teach Moroccan children! Yeah, life’s pretty cool…sure love that reboot switch. Anyway, as a writer, I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share my thoughts and experiences. So, over the next twenty-seven months, feel free to check in…I’m certain I’ll find something to talk about!
