George Dunn belting out his rendition of “When I think about you I touch myself” |
Born and raised on Long Island. Attended a strict, prestigious, wear a suit even in the heat of June, high school, and attended Loyola College in Baltimore. Surprisingly, one of my proudest achievements in college was that in four years I wasn’t mugged once, which puts me in the minority.
While in college I studied in Florence, Italy, where I caught the travel bug and wandered through 11 European countries in four months, all while attending classes. After graduation I worked four jobs to fund a cross country trip around America. Highlights include the worst hotel in America (I mean, there were blood stains on the towels), masquerading as freelance reporters covering the nightlife of San Diego (we were put on the list of every club), and a straight 29 hour drive from the Grand Canyon to Memphis that resulted in one speeding ticket, several Arkansas hallucinations, and an outline for a movie that has yet to be completed.
And now, after two and a half years in the corporate world, I’m going back out.
