-
Pre-college activities included a heavy emphasis on sports and education. I participated in football, basketball, and extensively baseball. I also had a very strong desire to create art and was often found drawing, painting, and generally trying to be creative in whatever I pursued.
-
I had the option of going to Lehigh University to enter into the engineering program and play baseball. However, I chose not to continue my pursuit of a baseball career and instead entered into the Rutgers University engineering program.
-
At the start of my sophomore year I transfered to the main campus of Rutgers College and changed my major to computer science.
-
After a semester off at school, I re-entered Rutgers University and changed my major once again, this time to Visual Arts.
-
One of my first classes in the Visual Arts Program was a drawing fundamentals class taught by the former head of the graphic design department for many years, Paul Bruener. I was intrigued one day when he brought in some of his old work and was drawn into the creativity, structure, and problem-solving of graphic design.
-
I chose graphic design as my concentration and finished the program upon graduation in 2001.
-
I started designing websites in approximately 1997 after trading a friend of mine a car CD stand for a book on web design. I designed my first website for my parents' catering/deli business (Lou's Sub Shop/D'Agostino's Catering) using Notepad.
*The D'Agostino's Catering link provided is the current version, not the original site I designed in Notepad.
-
Today I work for a small marketing firm in central New Jersey. I am getting married in April 2005 to the beautiful Stacey :) I've been studying tae kwon do at USA TKD under Master Vince for the past 5 or 6 years and have earned a second degree black belt.
