Here are some random bits of information about me that may or may not explain why I am…
Born November 30th
Grew up in New York
Went to Bucknell University, took and Advertising class at UCLA and did a fellowship program in non profit strategies at Harvard Business School
Have lived in NY, KS, MO, PA, NJ, CA , DC and AZ
Cant get enough music or politics in my life
I ran in the cross country national championships, tried out of the Cleveland Indians, and played basketball at Bucknell but dont think i did any of them particularly well 
I am a hypochondriac and now prohibit myself from going to wedmd.com. i dont care if i break a bone or have a physical injury, but if i have a headache or something is going on internally that i dont know what its about i generally assume its life threatening or incurable.
I usually start listening to Christmas music right after Halloween so that i have a full 2 months to get into the holiday mood
While i always knew something was up, i just recently officially realized that with every sentence that is spoken to me my brain automatically tries to find a corresponding song lyric that uses that sentence or a word in it. seriously. sometimes im talking to someone and they might say “what a beautiful day!” and almost before they are done saying that i will unknowingly blurt out “touch me! take me to another place!” its embarassing and distracting for everyone but i cant help it. (that blurt was a U2 song for those who now just think im crazy)
I played sports my whole life but my 2 favorite memories from all those years are by far when my sister won her high school sectional game and when my brother won his NCAA game to go to the sweet 16
Growing up i wanted to go to west point then become a park ranger
The best live shows ive ever been to were muse, u2, outkast, killers, dave matthews, ray lamontagne, and dispatch (not in any order)
My favorite show growing up was GI Joe and i had and extensive collection of action figures
I really want to get shamwow.
Ive traveled to 22 countries
I hate snakes. they are the only thing on this planet that i would say i hate
When speaking with the Hurricane (my friend Matt) i rarely use anyones real name, i use one of the hundreds of nicknames i come up with for almost everyone i meet and he actually knows who im referring to 99% of the time. i may have a nickname for u!
I think the best thing ever is when you laugh so hard that you start to cry
My favorite quote ever is from the movie “Its A Wonderful Life” and its the one i live my life by: “no man is a failure that has friends”. i truly believe that our friends and the people we touch is what life is all about. i think its the only thing of value that we have in the world, and is the only thing i find value in personally. and im not afraid to say that i judge people because i do. i judge people on how they treat others and what they invest in their friends and strangers alike. life is too short…all we have is each other!
