About Me

Create yours at BlingyBlob.com!
About me...hmmm...where to begin? For those of you who don't know, I moved to New York City in November 2000 and have had quite a few "you'd never believe it if you weren't there" adventures since. But I don't regret anything that has happened...so far... Over the past few years I've lived in Washington Heights, Upper West Side, Hell's Kitchen, and Sunnyside. One of my favorite things to do is just go out and walk around the city... no agenda necessary.
I am currently working as a Project Manager with Western Union Payment Services and have been with the company since 2001. My office was on Dey Street (across the street from the Twin Towers), but we moved across town to Water Street in April 2005. Now we are right next to the South Street Seaport and a few blocks south of the Brooklyn Bridge. The division I work in is the electronic payments division so if you pay your bills .. or over the phone you may be using our software, which is called Speedpay.
I currently live in a two bedroom apartment in Washington Heights (northern Manhattan) with my fiancee, Fredd, who has been in my life since March 2005. He was raised in the city and is currently a proud member of the Army National Guard. Needless to say I know more about the Army now than I ever thought I would! If you have seen the television series "Mad About You," our relationship is very similar. Things are good.
Take a look around to see some of my interests and what's going on in my life now. They will be updated as new things/interests come along.
