<b>Bio</b>
I was born and raised in Milan, Italy and spent time living there and in Berlin, Germany before moving back to the U.S. around age 10. I lived in Waterford, CT for several years before attending college in Vermont, sowing wild oats in Vail, CO and doing a two year stint in San Francisco. As much as I love to travel, though, I always land back in the Northeast and consider it my home.
I attended Quinnipiac Univeristy for my masters in journalism and have written and worked for a variety of publications including the San Francisco Chronicle, the Point Reyes Light and National Geographic Adventure Magazine. Patch particularly excites me because it caters to my itinerant urges by keeping me constantly on the move and puts them to good use serving great communities.
When spare time arises, I fill it with vintage guitars, skiing, golf, circumnavigation, post-modern literature (my collegiate major) and have ambitions of getting into spelunking. I find caves fascinating.
