Where I'm From: I'm originally from Long Island, New York, but moved to Arlington, Virginia in the summer of 2006 after our wedding.

Marital Status: Happily married to my high school sweetheart for several years now and getting back into wedding planning for friends and family.

Day Career: I work for a prestigious IT research firm in sales and customer relationship management.
