I was born in Burlington and raised in Chittenden County. I graduated high school in Essex Junction, and then graduated with an associate's degree from Champlain College.
I have worked in retail, in home health care, as a contractor for the U.S. Immigration & Naturalization Service, and ultimately as an occupancy analyst for JPMorgan Chase.
I am a son, a brother, an uncle, and a friend to many. I am a writer, an artist, a nerd, and a novice ukulele player.
From late October 2020 through mid-August 2021 I lived at the John Graham Shelter in Vergennes. This was followed by two years in transitional housing, through the single-room occupancy (SRO) program, from August 2021 until Sept. 1, when I successfully leased a newly built apartment in Bristol.
