This is the quick and dirty version until I have time to write a decent version. 

Born and raised in Staten Island NY.  Went to school at PS3, then IS34, then SI Technical HS, then Cooper Union for 1 yr under Civil Engineering Major, graduated from St John\'s University with a BA in English Lit w/a minor in Intl Studies.  I was able to spend 1 semester in Rome, Italy, which was great.  In retrospect should have gone for Illustration, but oh well.   

Worked in the Proxy Solicitation business for several years.  To clarify that\'s where we help do the mailing and get in the votes for a corporate annual meetings and such.  Tried out the stockwatch dept [where we were hired to try and figure out which big investors hold our client\'s stock].  During these jobs  I married my now deceased ex-wife who was originally from Trinidad. 

I eventually met my current wife online, took a chance and moved down to the Nashville area and got a job with the state.  We currently just bought a house and are trying to have some kids. 

I\'ve been trying to work on my own comic book ideas for ages.  I haven\'t been as active politically as I\'d like to, due to procastination in the form of not knowing what to do that would be effective.  I\'m fairly shy, so anything involving public speaking is very daunting.  

Anyhoo, that\'s me. 

I have a blog - http://nickyfingaz.blogspot.com/ which I don\'t update much.
