introduction

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.

I thought I would start off my introductory blog post by first introducing my animals. There’s a sign in my house that reads: “We got rid of the kids, the dog was allergic”, so naturally, I know that I’m a little less important! My family is incredibly dog friendly – we currently have 3 Spinoni; Gioia, Piccola, and Trevi. Spinoni (or Spinone Italiano) are Italian bird dogs, similar to a wire haired griffon. Both of my parents professionally handle, breed, and occasionally hunt. The dog-craziness that absorbs my household was even the topic of my college application essay.

I’m from New Hampshire but have primarily lived in upstate New York my whole life. I’ve also moved high schools 3 separate times. I’m an avid Red Sox/Patriots/Bruins fan and have a sushi and seafood obsession that has only skyrocketed out of control since moving to New England.

In my spare time, I photograph and occasionally paint. For the past three summers, I’ve worked as an assistant photographer for Nadra Photography – an established Maine wedding photographer. I also love to cook.
