Introduction From Union Beach, NJ, Was an activist young, promoted a benefit concert at 15. Was a Hugh O'Brian Youth Leader. At 17 my dad died, it messed me up. Left HS & started college early, moved to Eatontown, took summer & fall & traveled. Joined the Eatontown Traffic Advisory Council & Historic Committee, redesigned a circle & designs were adopted by NJDOT with little change. Even freelanced on a few papers. Dual major was Media/Oceanography. Being young, stupid, took vengence upon someone who wronged me & paid for it & came out of it with a new direction. Before my dad died he asked me what the most valuable thing I owned was. I was dumbfounded. He said my name. He said, "You can't buy a good one and you can't sell a bad one". To this day that guides me. I restarted my life & continued in state & community colleges all over until I got my AS & AA. I traveled to Mystic, Woods Hole, Willaimsburg, Jekyll, then here where I met my wife, had a son, & work for myself painting. I believe if you know something's wrong & do nothing, you're as guilty as if you created the wrong yourself. I fight for a better world for him, & all kids. I'm involved, because I'm evolved.
Interests Civilization, as in being civilized. Life, as in living it. The world my son inherits....
