I was born and raised in Syracuse, NY (the actual city of Syracuse). After High School, I deferred my acceptance into Syracuse University to travel as a foreign exchange student in San Cristobal, Venezuela. There I learned to speak Spanish which continues to be one my passions. College was way more work than partying, so I took any chance I had to travel through internships and study abroad programs. After graduating from the School of Architecture, I moved to Hartford, CT for my first job as an architect. I lasted a year and a half before the City pulled me in and I've been in NYC ever since! 

I was born in Manhattan and spent my early years in the Lower East Side eating Pastrami from Katz's Deli, Lox from Russ & Daughters, and drinking Arizona Iced Teas from the Bodega.  At the tender age of 10, I moved to CT where I finally learned to ride a bike and shared my appreciation of the Wu-Tang Clan with my classmates. After High School I went to UConn where I made lifelong friends, circumnavigated the globe with the Semester at Sea program, and burned my couch in celebration of a National Championship. After college I went to law school, briefly attempted stand-up comedy and adopted a cat. Abby and I currently reside in a tiny studio apartment on the Upper East Side.
