For many years I felt like a creative person trapped inside a suit.

I had always been a “dreamer,” easily making up stories or what I would call “what ifs.” In high school, I became a filmmaker (that’s when you shot in Super 8 and glued the pieces of film together in editing) and won a state award in New Jersey.

I also began writing fiction in high school and I remember one of my stories earned an A+++ from one of the very best English teachers in the state.

I majored in TV/Radio/Film at Ithaca College and eventually drifted into the TV/Radio side of things.
