A native of Fairfield, Conn., he graduated from St. Michael's College with a bachelor's degree in journalism and mass communication, with a concentration in English literature. His first gig out of college was with the then Fairfield Citizen~News, as a reporter covering zoning, town government, police, fire, features and basically anything and everything.
