Born in Chicago in 1985, I lived in the U.S. until 1995, when my family moved to Israel. I graduated high school in 2003 in Jerusalem. As a member of the Israel Debating Society, I participated in two World Schools Debating Championships, in Singapore (Jan. '02) and Peru (Aug. '03). I did voice training for two years. Following graduation and Peru, I spent four months in the U.S. working and traveling. In August 2004, I moved back to the U.S., beginning studies at Boston University, with a joint philosophy-political science major and a minor in international relations. Professionally I'm a web developer (read about my work; see my C.V.). In my freshman year I raced with the BU Cycling Team. As a sophomore, I wrote a weekly political column for the BU student newspaper. I began motorcycling in the summer of 2005, and took off the fall 2006 semester to explore the country on my motorcycle. I returned to BU in the spring of 2007 and graduated magna cum laude in May 2008. From 2005 to August 2008, I worked primarily at the Irish Emigrant newspaper as head of the IT department. Beginning September 8th, 2008, I will be working as a web developer at EchoDitto. I post frequently to my blog about politics, world affairs and my life.
