About me

Gender Male
Occupation Staff Writer For Morrisons Cove Herald
Location Altoona, PA, United States
Introduction I was born and raised in Altoona, PA. I graduated from Juniata College in 2009 and just got my first real job after a year and a half of substitute teaching. I've also worked for a few private schools as a tutor and writing teacher. My ultimate goal is to build a creative writing program at a small liberal arts college like Juniata to create opportunities, in writing, that weren't available to me as an undergrad.
Interests Reading and Writing, P90X workouts, golf
Favorite Movies Wonder Boys, The Social Network, Black Swan, Finding Forrester, Inception, The Dark Knight, Solitary Man and far too many more to name. I love movies almost as much as I love books.
Favorite Music Third Eye Blind, Regina Spektor, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Ben Folds, Sara Bareilles, Fiona Apple, Rilo Kiley/Jenny Lewis, Neko Case, Death Cab for Cutie, State Radio, Warren Zevon, Led Zeppelin and into infinity.
