About Me

In the late 90’s and as a little delinquent my friends and I practiced graffiti around NYC and on Long Island. We use to go to meetings with other graffiti artists where our black books would be exchanged and we would draw pieces all night.

In my junior year of high school I dropped out to work at the front desk of a strip club. This was awesome at the time because I had a bunch of naked strippers that loved me and I was making more money than anyone I knew at the time.

I eventually got arrested doing graffiti and quit my job at the strip club.  When I was at an all-time low, my friend Cliff got me a job with him as a carpenter's helper.  The first thing we were working on was the lightning shelters on the Bethpage State Golf Course. Even though I was only a helper I decided to pick up a nail gun and the rest is history.  I then went on to work as a carpenter for a couple of big commercial companies and many residential companies.

One day while working I decided I wanted to try to go to college. I got my GED and enrolled at a local university. I started out as a business major and enjoyed the courses, but; something was missing. I decided to change my major and with my background of graffiti and experience in construction architecture just seemed to come naturally, almost as if it was in a master plan from a higher power.

I continued to work in carpentry up until my junior year when I started to work for a corporate architectural firm. This was a huge transition going from field work with a bunch of guys to being in a huge office. I wasn't familiar with the politics of a large office and after some time I decided to leave. I then went to work at a 5 person firm in a local village. Here I learned much more as I was more important to the company and learned a lot about local politics while easing into office politics. I ended up leaving there to go to school full time.

I graduated in 2010 and started to take the ARE at the end of 2012. So far I have passed SD and plan on finishing the rest by the end of 2013.
