Lets see in a nutshell in 2008
- I moved to New York after graduating from BGSU in Ohio
- I was a marketing intern for SHANE&SHAWN
- I also did marketing/intern work for Maria Smith of Downtown Babies

- I then went on to train brokers at my current job with Greico Financial Training.
Overall, I think a productive year, so what do I hope to do in 2009?

- Continue to be politically active…

Hey,
I don't know how much I can really update everyone on my life, not much has changed. I've been really enjoying my time @ Greico and I love having a job where for the most part I feel that I contribute and that I'm appreciated for it. Lot's of project underway there but other than that I've been keeping up with all my online media on the weekend, doing podcasts and videos updating all my profiles and such.
I'm getting really into economics along with my recent resurge in my interest in web…

Hey Guys,
This weekend was a nice time to relax and enjoy with my brothers, on Friday we went to the Laugh Lounge in Manhatten and saw an evening of comedy hosted by Will Sylvince which was a blast. After that show we went to go see my buddy Simon Hawk spin in downtown Brooklyn which was also fun. So Friday was overall a great night on the town.
Then on Saturday we went back to the city where I went on vinyl buying mission buying albums by the Isley Brothers, Average White Band, and Barry Whit…

Hey Guys,
I'm on the way back from work walking around Penn Station just taking in the city and I started thinking about how it was only a year ago I was struggling in Ohio as a full time student working at Macdonald's to pay the bills. Those days I just dreamed of barley surviving in the city not even expecting half of the opportunities that have come my way over the last few months since I've moved here.
what can i say, it's a bit heartwarming to see what my life has become and to see where…

Summer has no begun, my new job has begun, and hopefully some new people have walked into my life recently and will hopefully stay there. I'm not sure what to say except it feel weird to really see my life starting to form into something with a clear path forward, a clear path which I like.
I'm happy about life, I'm happy about my friends, I'm happy about my job. I'm a lucky guy, there isn't much more I could really be asking for without being selfish.

Hey Guys,
Here I am with a new job with Greico Financial Training which offers me everything I want in a job, a variety of responsibility, the ability for me to grow the company and grow myself, and plenty of way to exercise my creativity and charm. I feel I have finally got over the hill in my transition to New York and it was successful beyond my most reasonable expectations.
Although I need to focus on moving forward so I'm focusing on shedding the things weighing me down from the past so I…

Anyone who knows me knows that my principal virtue is creativity and individualism. The pursuit of new feelings and manifesting those feelings ideas into something tangible and fresh is something beautiful but something fresh comes from a understand of what exists and an understanding of yourself which only comes through experience and through skills developed by survival.
The reason I bring this up, is a very close friend of mine is going through their very own journey of self-exploration and…

" If I had a way I'd run through the dark and the door
the man that you loved ain't alive anymore
I can't go home again"

Sometimes I feel I have psychic connection Claudio Sanchez of C&C cause no one more often gets the exact words to put everything in my life into perspective. This small clip from this song really nails everything that has been going on in my life these past few weeks. Essentially, we are all new person every moment, and life is…

Hey Guys,
Today in a conversation with my ex, she tells me that since we've broken up I've become arrogant and lot more serious that I used to be. I probably seem more serious with since we don't to often and when we do it's usally about life and advice, I think most people who see me on a daily basis still think of me as silly, fun, and overall eccentric. Although I can definetley see where I have become more arrogant over the last year. It' been a year since our relationship began and about 6…

Hey Guys,
Life moves on and this week has been one of those weeks when I've finally confronted old feelings and embraced new fates that were long overdue. Oh well, I have lot of interviews here in the city once again for jobs as a publicist, music teacher, assistant, etc. What can I say, I'm versatile.
Some people always talk about turning points in their life and I have just as much as the last guy, but I'm starting to wonder if my life is just one big turning point, that coming of age is a p…

- Training to be a Stock Broker successfully
- Training to be a bartender
- Marketing Work in the fashion industry
- Making Connections to return to concert promoting
I got a possible gig as a publicist pending and always looking for more projects to ta…
