Success is a Journey, Not a Destination

About Me

Born and raised on Long Island, NY. After high school I went to college for a year (SUNY Morrisville). From there I decided to travel so I left home and joined the ARMY for a few years. After the ARMY I moved to Orlando, FL where I attended the Audio Recording Technology Institute for a career in Audio Engineering. After a couple of years working in the music industry I moved out to Los Angeles and began Editing/Writing/Producing film for Splice Media. From there I was offered a position with British Aerospace Engineering as an instructor for the Department of Defense updating military personnel on the new weapon systems they will be using on todays modern battlefield. I'm still pursuing a career in the entertainment industry, but am not willing to give up my day job just yet. Since being on the road I have met the most amazing people from all different cultures and because of them not only do I have a history of countless wild memories, they continue to give me a new perspective on life. These friends that i write about who are spread out all over the world are the reason I have no regrets about leaving home and knowing that there are many more out there like them makes it harder to return. My advice to anyone who reads this: Life is like an ocean, you have to drown in it to feel it's intensity. Take risks. Travel. Meet new people. And if you see yourself drifting off the beaten path, don't get discouraged. That's where the fun is. You'll find another one. Possibly a shortcut.
