Vital Signs
Born in New York. Made in California.
I was born and raised in upstate New York. That means good pizza and miserable weather. After graduating from Binghamton University in 1991, I left the green pastures of upstate NY for the "Greener Pastures" of Northern California. The rest, I guess you can say, is History. Peruse the Social Icons above to find out more.
