OK, so here's the real condensed version!  I was born in Connecticut, when I was 16, I got my first job in radio.  I grew up very overweight and when I was 19 years old, I moved to Mt. Washington in New Hampshire and lost 200 pounds hiking and skiing for 2 winters.

​

Inspired by my weight loss, at the age of 24, I joined the Navy and was stationed at Pearl Harbor working in technology.  During my duty, I also worked with the Secret Service and provided security for President's Bush and Clinton.  When I was honorably discharged, I met my now ex-wife on the 86th Street Subway in Manhattan and shortly after was blessed with the birth of our daughter.  In 1995, I got my first job as a Webmaster, Started a Pink Floyd Tribute Band and the rest as they say is history!
