Hi there...I see that you've found my page. Here's the obligatory "all about me" section.

I was born in good old New Bedford, MA on December 29, 1974. Lived there for awhile, came to New York City in for a change in scenery in 1992 and have been here and in surrounding places ever since. New York is ok, but I do miss the peace and quiet of a small town sometimes, and i go back whenever I can just to de-stress.

Right now, the Merrz is pretty busy working 2 jobs and takin some classes at Rutgers Law at night. Many changes are coming soon, as this schedule is not really the ideal situation for me. It doesn't make a lot of sense to go into detail on that right now, as I'm not sure how things will unfold over the next few months. Last year, I attended film school at the School of Visual Arts and made a couple of short films. Making films and seeing the finished product come alive on a big screen in front of a crowd is an unbelievable and undescribable experience. I'd love to do more film work, but it'll have to be put on hold awhile.

I think the easiest way to give out a lot of information in a little space is survey form, so please refer to the following.
