About Me
I’m a Long Island native, and a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, where the weather was dismal, the work was non-ending and snow was a four letter word. In 2006 I relocated to the San Francisco Bay area where I hope to never encounter as many gray, depressing days that I experienced in my years of Rochester life.
I am always open to new opportunities (communications, marketing, engagement, events, social media and project management are my specialties) so if you think you have something that I will look feel free to drop me a message.
My days in Silicon Valley are spent working in events marketing and with my dog, Aidan. I am a self-professed geek, I love travelling, eating sushi, wine tasting, listening to music and meeting new people. Take a peek around the site and hopefully you like what you see.
About This Site
I originally purchased the domain name for this site a little less than two years ago, when Jay Discount, a good friend of mine, convinced me the need to create my own weblog with movable type. There were many things I wanted to get out of Movable Type at the time that left me very frustrated and lacking the knowledge and time to execute them properly. My site sat in a disarray until Spring of 2005 when I took Advanced Multimedia Publishing at RIT.
During the 10 week class two of our rather large projects was to make a blog and portfolio. I used Movable Type for both and the designated time that was given for the site development and creation allowed me to finally learn how to tweak Movable Type the way I wanted. Today the site is almost perfect. Some CSS errors needed to be tweaked for cross browser compatibility, but in general I was very happy with the site.
As of March 2008, I have moved over to using WordPress. Moving over the WordPress was a great way to take advantage of a system using PHP and MySQL (and stop having to constantly press ‘rebuild’) instead of MovableType commands (despite how easy they are to learn!) Moving over to WordPress allowed a bit of a redesign and gave with new HTML and CSS so it isn’t a hack job and is indeed, very good code. Hope you enjoy!
