I was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and since my dad was in the military, haven't spent more than a few years in one place.  I have lived up and down the east coast, and Hawaii.  I settled down for undergrad in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley to attend Virginia Military Institute, where I was rocked to sleep every night by marine cadence and howitzer fire.  I love food and wine, and my inner fat kid is constantly thinking about what to make for dinner.  My love for the outdoors keeps my outer fat kid at bay, while enjoying the Florida sun.
