I graduated from the University of Delaware in 2000 with a BA in English Literature. My degree has exposed me to a great many of the best authors of past and present and more importantly the themes and motives that moved previous generations. During that period I also had the extreme pleasure of studying abroad in England and Scotland and then in Italy. Post graduation I have had a eclectic work history focusing on the insurance and finance industries but I always reserved my evenings and weekend hours for writing.
