About Me

I was born and raised in Jersey. I went to College in the Mid-Hudson Valley. I was a bartender for 7 years (Basically Partied Professionally). There probably isn't much that I haven't done in or even ON a bar. I've even ridden a tricycle on one! After graduation I traveled, lived and bartended in Europe for 18 months. Places I've been are Ireland (Lived and bartended in Dublin 9 months), France, Belgium, Holland, Germany(Love Parade!), Denmark (Mid-Summer in Copenhagen), Sweden, Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Spain (Did The Running of the Bulls), Ios, Greece (Lived and Bartended for 4 months). I Loved it and didn't want to come back. I was just recently in Vietnam and Cambodia and I'm going to try to get back to Asia as soon as I can. I'm also a guitar player and have been since I was 10 years old. I've got a sense of humor that shows no bounds. I'm offended by nothing and I can't stand being around people who are offended easily. I live for GOOD- film, music, comedy, traveling and conversation, preferably over a good pint.
