About Me

Get your layout at layoutsportal.comI grew up in Buffalo, NY and went to All Saints School, Hutch Tech and then Niagara University. Eventually I moved to NYC where I went to graduate school. I lived on the Upper West Side (70th and WEA, 106th and Bway and in the famous Ansonia where Angelia Jolie was our neighbor! I've been in LA for over 7 years now and don't think I can leave. I love the weather way too much.******************************************************* ************************************************************ *** One of my favorite vacation spots is Las Vegas. Second to that is Palm Springs for a quick weekend.I travel to New York City a couple of times a year to get my fix. One day I may end up moving back into Manhattan. I just had a great stay at the Ritz Carlton on Central Park South. It was AMAZING! Hoping to get back there this year for Thanksgiving with my family. I also enjoy going to Hawaii and doing the adventure thing. More than anything, I really dig luxury hotels anywhere. Last summer we stayed at The Ritz in Laguna Niguel and the St. Regis in Monarch Beach. Both were fantastic. We did prefer the St. Regis though... ************************************************************ ********************************************************** For over 15 years I have worked in entertainment. I've worked for People Magazine, Viacom, MTV, Paramount Pictures, MGM Television and Q Television. Today, I freelance as a consultant and have such an amazing life. I am very grateful to be able to make my living doing what I love to do. You could say that I am a survivor. I love theatre, independent films, blockbuster action movies, dance music, pop culture and the National Enquirer. Oh - I also love my TIVO! Makes a great pet! On a more personal note, I am not a drinker or partier - been there done that. I am into friends and family. ..
