I was born in Scottsdale Arizona, grew up in Downingtown Pennsylvania with my mom, moved to Chandler Arizona when my mom passed, and then came back to Pennsylvania for college. Pennsylvania is where I remain today. There is nothing quite like four seasons executed in such beauty, something difficult to find out west.

I could hear the low push of the wind rustling those leaves too. I could hear the faint sound of birds calling out. This was euphoria.
