Lowcountry Geek

That whole small world thing is dead on.

Just yesterday I was tweeting with @TriadDesign out of Bluffton, and we realized that the father of one of the folks in that office lives in the same neighborhood I grew up in, the same neighborhood where my parents still live.

So it got me thinking that I should give everyone the elevator pitch on who I am and where I've been. I'm gonna do it with bullets because I always like the brevity of bullets.

• Raised in Riverdale, N.Y. (Bronx)
• Attended Bronx High School of Science
• (Edit - Feb. 8, 2010) While in high school my dad worked for the School of Visual Arts, which at the time had opened a branch campus in Savannah. I visited the Savannah area several times and got to know River Street and all the historic sites very well. I was probably one of the few people in my NYC high school to read "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." Little did I know I would move to the Lowcountry almost a decade later.
• College at SUNY (State University of New York) Albany
• Met my wife at SUNY, she's from Clifton Park, N.Y.
• While in Albany interned at WAMC public radio and The Legislative Gazette
• Moved to Sumter, S.C., in 2001 and began reporting for the Sumter Item
• Moved to Beaufort in 2002 and began reporting for the Beaufort Gazette
• Quickly became editor
• Burned out
• Now Marketing Director for the Lowcountry Economic Network
• Tons of side projects

(Ding) I think this is my floor.
