I was born and raised in Bayonne, NJ, but am now in Scotch Plains, NJ.  I Attended St. Andrew’s Grammar School in Bayonne, St. Peter’s Prep High School in Jersey City, and did a brief stint at NJIT.  Married since 2000, with one daughter that arrived on March 30th, 2008. I have one older brother, one younger sister. Mom is a nurse, dad is a civil engineer.

I truly enjoy photography, but I didn’t study arts or photography in school. My dad, who has been a photographer since he was young makes for an excellent teacher.

I’ve been around computers for most of my life, starting with a Timex Sinclaire 1000. I designed and authored one of the first “city” web sites on the internet for the city of Bayonne, which was featured in the NJ section of the New York Times newspaper back in 1997. The original site can be found in the wayback machine archives.

I commute into Manhattan daily for my full-time job in the IT side of the financial world where I am a Lotus Notes/Domino/Quickr  Administrator/Designer/User, Firewall and router administrator, Blackberry Enterprise Server administrator, general LAN/WAN adminstrator, and I install, consult, train and support our own proprietary software.

I am the web designer and secretary for the NJAGC (New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club).  If you are interested in planted freshwater aquariums, and are in the NJ area, please join us. I am also a member of and run the website for the historical society of Scotch Plains and Fanwood, NJ.
