I was born on April 6, 2005 in Boston, MA, and lived there for a few years before moving to Maryland. Naturally, being from Boston I'm now a big Celtics and Patriots fan, but enjoy watching a variety of sports. After moving to Maryland, I went through all of primary school there until moving down to Durham, NC for college making me a big Blue Devils fan. Some of my other interests include music — my favorite artists right now are Tyler, the Creator, Wave to Earth, and Sampha — and fashion — one of my favorite brands is Iongaf.
