Life is a stage

About Me

A product of beach sand and waves, I began performing at the ripe age of 14. Originally from Ocean City, MD, I attended Salisbury University and have a degree in political science with a minor in Environmental Issues. For the past year I lived in Baltimore City, and relocated to Philadelphia at the beginning of September 2007 for my wonderful new job. I am working for NJ PIRG, the Public Interest Research Group at Rutgers-Camden. I spend my day organizing students to fight the man and to solve real problems, and my evenings making a music ruckus at Philly area pubs.
