Biography: Born and raised in Buffalo, I chose to stay here in hopes that during my youth and adulthood I will be able to witness the resurgence in our great city. I chose UB over Northeastern for undergraduate school, and I chose UB again over Illinois for my Master's Degree in Urban Planning. I have high hopes for Buffalo, despite the overwhelming pessimism that is driving so many to leave our area.
