His family hails from Trinidad and Tobago, and though he has never lived there, Caribbean culture is alive and well in his family and in him. He loves nothing more than a hot doubles, with slight pepper, and an orange, not red solo.Born in New York, but raised in the once quiet suburbs of Tampa, FL, his foundations have more to do with the books he read and the movies he saw than the people around him. Classics and epics were his teachers; Poe his favorite.He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2000 where he studied Mechanical Engineering and Finance. And though he has worked in both fields because the world requires it, he has never found it fulfilling. Science and math are what we do to survive, but what we do in the silent corner of our room, when no one is watching, is why we are alive.He lives to write; hoping to combine the pretty metric phrases of poetry with the meaningful stories of prose and make people smile, think, and feel; most of all, he wants people to feel.view less
