About Me

*Warning* What you are about to read is bullshit (all true, but still bullshit)!I'm a 25 year old graduate student from South Hadley, MA. I'm currently pursuing a doctorate in veterinary immunology at UMass, Amherst. Once I finish my degree, I hope to attend veterinary school. After that, I plan to pursue a career as a professor of veterinary medicine. I also work as a veterinary technician and am an EMT. I curently live in Hadley, MA with my girlfriend Becky, and our corgi Reba. We live in a quiant little apartment - perhaps sometimes too quaint - that used to be the carraige house of an old farm house. While initially reluctant to join MySpace, I've found it offers the opportunity to keep in touch with all of my friends who are now scattered throughout the country. And speaking of my friends, check out Danny Pease and the Regulators!
