Bio 11-06-06

I was born in 1980 and grew up in a suburb of Buffalo, NY, where I currently reside. I graduated from North Tonawanda High School in 1998, and completed studies for a bachelors in psychology (minor in sociology) at SUNY Geneseo in 2002. I returned home after college, worked briefly at the Hard Rock Cafe, and I am now a dealer at a casino. I was also elected to the Board of Directors of the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation, and appointed secretary in 2004. My main hobbies are web design, photography, and buying too many coats. And Nine Inch Nails. I had a series of photographs published in the Spring 2004 issue of the Bagel Digest, which is my first publication. I also had work published in Western New York Heritage Magazine. I had my own art show featuring my photography in 2005. Pretty exciting eh?
