New York native, raised in the wonderful working-class Bronx, cool mom and all-around badass.
Raised by a mother who was a proud immigrant from Italy who (unapologetically) spoke ONLY ITALIAN and a first-generation dad who spoke a strange hybrid of Bronxese and Italian. Together they ran a pizzeria and stayed married for 35 years. They taught me a relentless work ethic and appreciation for family and friends that I carry with me today.
