The 3-second Rundown

Pre-dreds:

Born in NYC, lived in a crib in Washington Heights until my parents made the awful decision to move across the Hudson river to the landfill known as New Jersey. Luckily, New York City was just across the river. I love New York like crazy, and I only feel really at home when I'm there.

Dreds:

NJ left such a deep scar on my psyche that I flew to Asia. Upon my return, I started college at MIT in Boston. I'm currently a sophomore majoring in Brain and Cognitive Sciences and minoring in Writing. I get to do some pretty awesome research during the semester (more about that later) and on my vacations I travel to some crazy places. After graduation I hope to ride a motorcycle around the world for a year or two.
