On February 10, 1984, I began my journey of life in the quaint country village of Brooklyn, New York. Not too long after I became accustomed to life as a city boy, my family relocated to the suburb of New Rochelle, which in times past yielded talent such as Mark Twain, and in times recent yielded two state champion athletic teams and a super bowl victor by the name of Ray Rice; I, however, am just a mere mortal.
