Tell us a little about yourself:

I grew up in Wilton and went to the Wilton-Westport Evening School my last two years of high school. I credit them for saving my educational experience. The program allowed me to work a minimum of thirty hours during the day and then attend about four hours of school at night. When I'm not working and am looking for something to do out of town, I am usually at concerts. I really like going to Phish concerts.
