BIOBorn in Brooklyn, N.Y. (Yo! Vinny)
One brother, one sister.
At the age of three my parents decided to move
us all to a tiny mind numbing town in upstate
N.Y. where I became a smart ass brat, got into
tons of trouble, was thrown out of school at fifteen, got a job with Dad and drove trucks for twenty years! Until... Still being a smart ass, I lost my license drag racing, drinking beer, and telling a cop what he could do with his night stick! (he took me literally, it wasn't pretty)Anyway, I finally decided to get my act together. I took a class and recieved my GED where I was introduced to computers. I liked what I could do and decided to learn more. Eight months of applications for financial aid later I wound up in Ulster County Community College where I achieved an Associate Degree in Advertising Design and Graphics Technology... and to my suprise (and everyone's who knew me) Graduation with honors and a scholorship to New York University... Where I recieved a BS, and where I am now employed as an instructor and staff of their Multimedia lab. So now I teach a photoshop class along with co-teaching a video production class and create Educational Videos (not those kind, get your minds out the gutter) I work in all aspects of production from conception to post-production editing where I have my most fun creating graphics, intros, and special effects to incorporate into the video.
Ok, now I want everyone who reads this to e-mail me and tell me if you believe this story or not!
