Bio

All of my great-grandparents and three of my grandparents were born in Sicily, one of my grandparents and both of my parents were born in New York, and I was born in Alabama.

I'm the youngest of five children. When I was one, my family moved from Alabama to Westport, Connecticut.

From Westport, my parents took us to New York City to see plays, musicals, operas, and museums and on international vacations. My dad coached my soccer and ice hockey teams and took me biking, fishing, and skiing. My mom got me piano, chess, and golf lessons and sent me to skateboard camp.

I attended public school and then transferred to Kent School for ice hockey. Ever since 7th grade, I wanted to get into Harvard. In 12th grade, I became a Siemens Competition Finalist and got into Harvard early action.

After graduating, I worked as a software engineer and invested my savings in crypto, stocks, and startups. Now, I work on personal projects, like taking care of myself, getting organized, and building websites.
