I was born in West Springfield, Massachusetts and lived there until I was 6 when I was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 1 and went to the Joslin Clinic in Boston. When I was 8 I went to live with my grandparents so that I could attend Boston Latin Academy and then Boston College where I received a BS in Business Administration and a BS in Computer Science then I started work at Marriott International as a Houseman (Putting Tables and Chairs Up) and worked my way up to a Senior Banquet / Restaurant IT Director. I was able to travel to many countries with Marriott fixing and repairing the network, telephone and micros systems. My last project with Marriott was to put USB / Bluetooth pour trackers on all of the bars in the system.
