About Warren

Who are you?

I was born and raised in Queens, New York, deep in the heart of a cultural melting pot. It was a place where immigrant workers flocked, and where futbol reigned supreme. 

My university years were spent in snowy and rainy upstate New York, in the city of Binghamton, where I studied the language of business, accounting.

But, somewhere between class on taxation and short college romances, I realized that life as an accountant was not for me. Feeling an immense urge for change, I booked a last-minute flight to China.

During those formative months, I reached a tough and life-changing decision that ultimately set me up for later success down the road. I set my sights on a long-awaited dream of mine, to join the United States Marine Corps.

Why do you write about this stuff? 

The premise of this blog has changed over the years as I grew older and wiser, but one central theme remains. It is of self-discovery, identity, and purpose. Things that tug at the heartstrings, cause sleepless nights or make you want to bury your head in the sand and scream. Matters of the soul. 

This site began as a creative outlet to crystalize my thoughts, on a public platform; so as to possibly help out other people in the process and have their own “aha” moments or at least a few chuckles.

Plus, I think deep within us, we are all trying to understand ourselves, the world, and our place within it.

I’m by no means an expert, nor do I have formal qualifications. I write from experience, the good, and the bad; trying to figure this thing out called life.

Where do your experiences come from?

I’m just a regular guy going through life. I’ve accomplished some things, failed at many others, and learned a lot along the way.

I attribute many of my experiences to my childhood, my time served in the Marine Corps, and my travels abroad; but the common thread amongst all 3 would be a ravenous hunger for knowledge, which took form in the thousands of conversations with everyday people, books, and self-reflection. 

This is my story.
