Ten years ago I was:

Getting ready to graduate from the eight grade (middle school) with Presidential Honors. There was an ice cream social, a certificate “signed” by Bill Clinton, and the big move up the hill from middle school to high school. I was excited about the summer (mowing lawns) and terrified of training for freshman soccer (a 2 mile timed run?!)

Five things on today’s to do list:

1. Survive work.
2. See my apartment again.
3. Edit a new video I made.
4. Go out with my girlfriend.
5. Pass out with money still in my bank account.

Things I’d do if I were a billionaire:

1. Immediately call a car to take me to the airport. Not come home until I’ve hitchhiked on every continent.
2. Call on various special friends, flying them out to join me for small stretches of my trip.
3. Come back with pictures, stories, and a need to put it all into a book. Make that book.
4. Buy an apartment in New York, where I want to be for as long as possible.
5. Find someone to invest what’s left of my money so that there will be more money in the future to spend.
6. Write, direct, act, and produce a movie I’m proud of.
7. Establish myself as an expert in something I care about.

Three bad habits:

1. Fiscally irresponsible.
2. If I don’t do it as soon as I think about it, it rarely gets done.
3. Still act like I’m in college, at times.

Places I have lived:

Most-recent first:

1. Astoria, NY (2 years)
2. King of Prussia, PA (hometown, 16 years)
3. Chestertown, MD (college, 4 years, one summer)
4. Pittsburgh, PA (birthplace, 6 years)

Six jobs I’ve had in my life:

1. Marketing Assistant, Publishing Company
2. Tour Guide, at my college
3. Cashier, FYE, at KOP mall
4. Janitor, at my elementary school
5. Cashier, at Toys R Us
