Born in Queens, NY, I traveled with family to the Tucson desert on the proverbial hippie bus about 35 years prior.
Since then, I went to school for a total of about 20 years, have been a retail manager, tattoo artist, teaching assistant, and now a teacher of about 5 years. I have a preteen daughter, 2 dogs, a cat and a couple of parakeets. I am a "townie", and enjoy cultural and musical events, reading, writing, and hiking in the mountains.
