I was born December 8th, 1975 in Corning. I have lived in the city all of my life, first at 35 Spruce St., from 1989 to 2007 at 229 Kingsbury Ave, and since 2007 at 104 West Pulteney St. I attended the American University in Washington, D.C. where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Political Science. I currently work as a volunteer at the Corning Library.
I joined the Green Party one week after I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000. I left the Democratic Party because I saw a continuing trend of moving away from its progressive roots. The Green Party became an alternative for me as it introduced new ideas to issues of social and economic problems. I hope to be an advocate of these ideas and to help my community.
I blog regularly on A Green State of Mind: A Green Theoretical Journal, sponsored by the Green Party of New York State, and have had a number of my letters to the editor published in the Corning Leader.
