<h2>Biography</h2>
<p></p>
<p>Born in Manhattan and raised down the Jersey shore, I always knew I wanted a career behind the camera. Growing up, I was always making videos with my friends and family; however, I was a fickle child and couldn't decide what I wanted to do with my life. After ruling out several other career paths (architect, ice cream truck driver, comedian), I ultimately decided to work in film and television.</p>
<p>I moved to Orlando in 2000 to attend the <A href="http://www.ucf.edu">University of Central Florida</a>. During my time there I worked on several short videos for class and was the president of the <a href="http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~ucfglbsu">Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Student Union</a> (GLBSU) for 2 years. While there, I helped found <a href="http://www.myspace.com/divainvasion">Diva Invasion</a>, an annual female impersonator revue and fundraiser for the GLBSU. The show has just completed its 6th year; I produced, directed, co-wrote, and edited videos that were shown during 4 of the 6 performances, playing to crowds of 1,000 - nearly 2,000 people. I graduated UCF with a BA in Cinema Studies and a minor in Psychology in 2005.</p>
<p>While at UCF I participated in an internship at <a href="http://www.adrenalinefilms.com">Adrenaline Films</a>, where I worked in the equipment room and as a PA on several shoots. After graduating UCF I was offered a job with <a href="http://www.pinksneakers.net">Pink Sneakers Productions</a> as a transcriber, which quickly grew to a position on "Hogan Knows Best." I worked on Seasons 2 and 3 and then left Pink Sneakers to pursue other projects. After some freelancing and personal projects in Orlando, I relocated to New Jersey so that I could get more experience in New York City.</p>
