Originally from New Jersey, I came to Rhode Island for the purpose of seeking a higher level of community, only to find sometimes that I left a community back home. Opportunities are different here than back there, and life is slower, but at the same time life is also more of an adventure, believe it or not, than back in New Jersey. I've had highs and lows, and in some respects feel as though I backpedaled into a different world.

Now with my wife, I explore the intricacies of a world of immigrants. It seems like the immigrants have better, or different, opportunities than people who were born here. Good or bad, I have a love hate relationship with the state I now call home.
