I was born in Brooklyn and raised on Staten Island. I attended SUNY Morrisville in Morrisville, NY and Green Mountain College in Poultney, VT where I studied Environmental Studies. At Green Mountain College, I worked as a library assistant and I was a member of the Writing Club and the Ultimate Frisbee Club. I also very briefly participated in our school's chapter of the Student Environmental Action Coalition (SEAC), which was horribly disorganized, devoid of leadership, full of infighting and terribly frustrating.

Though I have never been involved in politics, I have always had an interest in current events and politics. When I came of age, believing that our nation could use a little democracy, I registered as a Green. The centralization of political power in Washington and the concentration of wealth into fewer and fewer hands looked dangerously like oligarchy. Despite some minor differences, both the Democrats and Republicans seemed to support the imperialist ambitions of the economic elite. Pessimistically, I feared that this was the inevitable course of our nation.

It may strike some as ironic that my introduction to libertarian thought through writings of radical leftists such as Noam Chomsky, Gabriel Kolko, Pierre Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, et al. as well as the great environmentalist writer Edward Abbey who wrote: Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners.

Currently, I am a full-time temp, proofreading in a corporate law firm. In the last few months, I have moved to Queens and joined the Queens County Libertarian Party, the Stonewall Libertarians and the Libertarian Freedom Council. I look forward to developing new skills and working to spread the message of liberty far and wide.
