I was born in Chagrin Falls, Ohio in June of 1986. Since then I have lived in suburban Philadelphia and now in Baltimore, Maryland, where I attended the Maryland Institute College of Art and graduated summa cum laude in May of 2009. I like grilled cheese sandwiches and Sci-Fi Channel original movies.
