My name is Christopher. I live in a small beach town in New Jersey with my two sisters and mom. I also have two cats that my family adopted from a summer camp and have had more pet fish than I can count. I am a member of the Lafayette Ice hockey team and therefore spend a lot of my time either practicing or playing, but when I’m not on the ice I enjoy film making and watching English Premiere League Soccer.
At Lafayette I am a Film and Media Studies major and hope to one day be a screenwriter/director for half hour variety shows like The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. I think that working in the television industry would be incredibly rewarding because as a filmmaker you have the power to create stories that can bring joy to others, which is a perk that very few jobs have.
Apart from filmmaking, my other passions include outdoor activities like wake boarding, fishing, and sailing. My favorite places to do these activities is Lake Placid, New York, which many know as the site of the 1980 Miracle on Ice Olympic Hockey game. My family owns a house there and we spend a great deal of time every summer in this Adirondack getaway. One of the reasons I like Lake Placid is that it has an abundances of mountains, lakes, and wilderness so there is something to all year around.
By taking this class I am hoping to improve my writing skills and learn more about how we as a society value animals.
