Born in Altoona, Iowa to a 2nd grade teacher and a general practice attorney. Was sent to Willowbrook Elementary and Southeast Polk High School for the beginnings of an education and has recently earned a B.A. in Theatre Arts and Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of Iowa in May 07. After that whole college thing, moved to Los Angeles for almost a year, then jet-set to New York for further adventures, always with the purpose of living, pushing to create meaningful work that propagates useful, needed change within the world. Fingers-crossed.
