The Evil Monkey that lives in my closet

I live in Katy, TX with my wife, we just moved here from Dover, NH since she just got a job working in the office for her oil company. I also own a vacation house in Osterville, MA.

I graduated Boston Latin School HS in 2001. I attended the Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA) from 2001-2005 where I got a BS in Marine Engineering.

I am in the United States Merchant Marine. I work through the Marine Engineer's Beneficial Association. I now hold a Chief Engineer's licence.

There is an Evil Monkey in my closet.
