About Me

I was a vegetarian for 13 years but I got hungry. I used to ride a skateboard now I ride a bicycle. I’m married to Michele and live in Whitestone, Queens. But Astoria will always be the “Mother Land”. I co- founded GR and Token Entry. I still listen to punk/hardcore. When some one thinks of something better let me know. I’m a NYC union construction worker and proud of it.
