Bio:
I am an innovative, creative, intelligent person with great character and ethics.  I have both the academic and educational accomplishments to back this up, while my commitment to volunteerism for my educational institutions and other causes show altruism.  I am an Eagle Scout.  I have a wife and young son who is developing well.

I am from Pennsylvania.  I have lived up and down the East Coast of the United States in places such as rural Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Orlando, Boca Raton, FL, Miami, New York City, Jacksonville, FL, and Lakeland, FL.  I consider myself a New Yorker but when the going gets tough the “Philly” in me comes.  I am familiar with the “Windy City” as I have interviewed there and with Chicago based law firms.  I also have family in the Chicago area.
I started teaching and tutoring when I was recuperating from an injury.  Starting in law school, I have had multiple law professors state I should be teaching law school.  I self-funded all of my education from high school on and know how difficult it is when you are young.  I have fun with my students and enjoy seeing them succeed.  Education has been the key to my success.  Many people helped me on the way up and up and so I tutor and teach as a means to give back.
I am an Eagle Scout.  I have won awards in high school for community service and for debate.  I played sports and high school and helped run a family business.  I was the co-chair of the Pre-Law Society in college and captain of the cheerleading team.  In law school, I was an Articles and Comments Editor on the Law Review, a member of the Moot Court Board, Order of the Coif, a full scholarship recipient, and a published author.  I have worked for a large NYC law firm and small firms.  I have taken courses in the MBA program at Stern School of Business at NYU and was a member of the Graduate Finance Association. I am a lawyer/banker or as I refer to myself as a complete advisor.  My goal is to start my own hedge fund. My interests are law, finance, economics, public policy, history, and business.  I read, watch TV, spend time with my family.
