I went to St. Joseph's Prep in South Bend, IN and graduated with academic honors in 2006, where I played four years of varsity lacrosse and two years of varsity hockey. My junior and senior year, I played Midget Major AAA hockey for the West Michigan Warriors in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I drove an hour and a half to get to practices and home games. In 2006-07, I played junior hockey for the Northern Cyclones in Hudson, New Hampshire and lived with a host family, which consisted of two parents, and their then eleven year old son.
In the summer of 2007, I enrolled at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts, and started pursuing a degree in architecture. I graduated with a B.S. in Architecture in August 2011. Currently, I live in Hopkinton, MA and work for a solar energy company and design rooftop solar panel systems.
In my "Welcome" post, I incorrectly stated that this was my first blog, ever. After publishing that, I realized that this was not my first blog. From March 2010-April 2011, I published stories for BroBible (http://www.brobible.com/). I won't tell you what my handle was on that website, but I did publish between 30 and 40 stories for them.
My other interests include: beaches, boating, cook-outs, bonfires, the Cape & Islands, Vineyard Vines, Jeep, U.S. History, America, Sperry Top-Sider, dogs, comedy, and country music.
