I was born and raised on the south side of Chicago. My grandfather often took me to White Sox games, which is now considered child abuse under Illinois state law. I lived all over the south side of Chicago, but in my later years, I lived on the north side of Chicago, near the lake, conveniently located near crack dealers. Recently, I had lived in Eugene, Oregon, but unfortunately, there were TOO MANY HIPPIES!...I now live in St. Louis, MO, home of the two greatest poets of the 20th Century: T.S. Eliot & Chuck Berry...

I am currently doing all sorts of wacky stuff, but once worked for Harvard, but that's still classified info. (And, for the record, I lie about it on my curriculum vitae, which is Latin for "really big, pompous resume"). I have my master's in counseling psychology at Loyola University In my spare time (huh, spare time, what's that?), I'm also class representative for the St. Ignatius College Prep graduating class of 1985. (If you're from that class, click here now. Really. It's your page. I mean this.) I currently work for The Greater St. Louis Treatment Network, providing substance abuse assessment & treatment services for homeless people. I also run Prodigy's Comedy Community , which is more fun that drinking afer shave.

As you can see by the navigation bar on the left, I have a myriad of interests. (Can't you tell I've been to college? I used the word myriad). Just explore this page - I tell you this, it's more fun than smacking yourself in the head with a pound of butter. Plus, it'll take you out of here and into some interesting online stuff Feel free, if you have more questions, to e-mail me, and I'll be sure to answer them.

You can also check out my writings atThe Shrubbery! So have fun, stay safe, and never chug cough syrup.
