Over ten years ago, I was given the nickname “Spike.” It disappeared when I left high school for college, but several years later the name reappeared for my online alter ego. I had been keeping a website with my real name but I needed a little bit more privacy. Hence, Spike was reborn.
I have spent most minutes of my life in central New Jersey; in fact, that is where I (inexplicably) live now. My only significant time away from the Garden State since moving there at the age of nine was four and a half years of college and one summer touring with a drum and bugle corps.
I am a musician at heart and a huge fan of live music. I am a creator when I get a chance. I dream, I live, and I screw up (sometimes majorly). I’m working for a corporation that doesn’t seem completely evil. I like doing good in the world, and I hope to travel more, live happily and securely with a family of my own, and study random things such as philosophies, sciences, languages, and arts.
