about me

about me

It may be fair to say that I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up.  When I was a kid, I was always into some sort of artis­tic activ­ity. Draw­ing, paint­ing, clay…you name it. I also enjoyed writ­ing short sto­ries. At some point, I thought, “Hey, I want to be an archi­tect.”  I went off to col­lege ready to design. Unfor­tu­nately, I got a lit­tle tripped up with cal­cu­lus and physics — along with, how shall I say this, social activ­i­ties. I turned my aca­d­e­mic atten­tion to lit­er­a­ture, and even­tu­ally law. Since grad­u­at­ing for col­lege and law school, I have spent the major­ity of my career in the polit­i­cal and gov­ern­ment rela­tions arena, with a short stint work­ing on non-branded mar­ket­ing in New York.

Per­haps I fall into the box of one that doesn’t feel a career defines him. I sus­pect the rea­son for say­ing that is because I have not, in earnest, pur­sued my pas­sions – pho­tog­ra­phy and writ­ing. It’s as if my life has come full cir­cle, and here I am with a blog [occa­sion­ally] writ­ing short sto­ries. Pho­tog­ra­phy has been a more recent dis­cov­ery, but, along with writ­ing, it is some­thing that I would gladly spend my days and nights doing.

So, there you have it. My ambi­tions boiled down to two short paragraphs.

As for this blog, I hope that you enjoy the things that I post. I try to share and reveal things that inter­est, move, alarm, con­cern,  and inspire me. I am com­mit­ted to putting in more time to post­ing my thoughts and con­tent. I’d appre­ci­ate your feed­back on the things that I post in the com­ment section.
