About Me
Well, after Central, I went to Boston University and received a BA in English after four years of metriculation there. In the summer of '99, I moved to New York City in hopes to get my plays produced.

I met up with CHS '95 grad Pete Boisvert, and we formed an independent theater company in the city, Nosedive Productions (I write, he directs, we both produce) with the help of fellow CHS '95 grads Chris Bujold and Ben VandenBoom.

I've spent most of my time working at various trade/business magazines as an editor and/or writer, and have been writing and producing plays in the city for the past five years (still with Pete & Nosedive).

As for the things people reading a 10-year-reunion site really want to know: No marriage, no girlfriend, no kids, no pets, no real estate. I'm not bald or balding, but getting very, very gray. And yes, I've become a bit pudgy around the middle since we last frolicked from the P.A. to the James. However, I still believe I'm still very pretty. At least, that's what I tell myself to sleep at night. Sigh...

Listen to This
Old 97s, Ween, Mike Doughty, David Cross (yeah, he's comedy and not music but seriously people should listen to his discs), and there's this cover of "Live and Let Die" from Sex Mob that I swear I put on repeat for days. Drove my roommate nuts.
