Bio

I Graduated from the University at Albany with a degree in art and Psychology in 1997. I then moved to NYC and worked in the photo industry as a photographer and producer. After several years I transitioned to working as a carpenter and cabinet maker. From there I enrolled at City Tech and after a few years I earned my teaching license for CTE Carpentry and I now work as a carpentry teacher at The School for Cooperative Technical Education. Currently I am continuing with my education at City Tech so that I can also earn my teaching license in Technology Education so that I can diversify my resume.
