Born on October 16th, 1978 at Sharon General Hospital.
Moved to Allentown, PA at the age of 2, where I still live
today. Attended public school until the age of 14 when I transferred
to a Catholic School.
Attended high school at Allentown Central Catholic where
I played both soccer and basketball. I played one season for the 1-14-1 JV soccer team
but was co-captain and leading goal scorer (2) for the squad.
We were the "Bad News Bears" of soccer. It was
a pathetic team, but the most fun I've ever had playing sprots. Basketball, on the other hand, was more my game. I played all 4
years at Central and we were a rather successful team during my career. Well, I actually watched
more basketball than I played, but it was still fun. I was also involved
in student council and CCB (Central Catholic Broadcasting).
After graduation in 1997 I went on to Duquesne University
located in downtown Pittsburgh.
At Duquesne I studied communications
and was involved in Greek life. I pledged the Beta Pi Sigma fraternity in the spring of 1998 with 7
other guys. Let me tell you that was an experience...well, maybe I shouldn't tell you.
My sophomore year I became my fraternities Athletic Director and held that position until
my junior year. I was elected President of the "Betas" that same year and served the frat as president until
January 2001. I was also voted Sweetheart of the Sigma Lambda Phi Sorority in 1999.
I was inducted into Lambda Pi Eta National Communications
Honor Society my Junior year as well. Graduation came in May of 2001 and is still the saddest day of my life for I knew that my
life as I had known it for so long was over.
I met my wife, Giulia, my freshman year. We dated for 5 years got engaged in 2003 and married on Cotober 1, 2005. She
is currently a Pharmacist at Hopewell Pharmacy.
