About me

I am 32 years old and I live in Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA. I am disabled with Duchene's Muscular Dystrophy. I have a BA in Finance. I've been writing for about ten years and movie reviews for five years. My articles spawn several different types but most are reviews, humorous & sarcastic articles, and serious debate type articles.
