| Introduction | I grew up in Ithaca, NY and currently reside in Manhattan's Upper East side. I am a devout Cornell and New Jersey Devils hockey fan. I have a love/hate relationship with the Buffalo Bills and a hate/loathe relationship with the Dallas Cowboys. I enjoy college basketball and football, and I am a Red Sox fan by conversion (no prior allegiance - just never really watched baseball before). I am a political junkie, and while I am a registered Democrat, I lean strongly towards Libertarianism. I attended the Lawrenceville School. I have a B.A. in Political Science from the College of the Holy Cross and a M.P.A. from Cornell University, where I served as a T.A. in the Department of Government for Urban Politics and U.S. Congress. |
