Where in the World?

Originally from Hebron, NE - I currently reside in New York City, NY.

I attended University of Nebraska in Lincoln and pursued my degree in marketing, with an emphasis in advertising. 

Yes I know the University fight-song (via University Mens' Chorus my freshman year) . No, no one sings the correct lyrics on game-day.
