My Family

I LOVE spending time with my family!

  • Tristan - Sophomore in college at Syracuse University

We live in Westfield - love our town.

My Reading Life

Believe it or not, reading wasn't always my thing!

While taking a course in college, I was tasked to read the novel Push, by Sapphire. It immediately turned me on to reading, and I've been an avid reader ever since. I enjoy learning about different cultures while reading fiction and also spend a great deal of time reading informational books on educating readers, health, decorating, fashion, and travel.
