I was born in Panama in 1981. My father was in the US military; in 1982 I moved to Florida (Homestead). From 1984 to 1988 I lived in Misawa, Japan, after which I returned to Homestead where I lived until 1992. In 1992, we relocated to San Angelo, Texas, where I went to school until I graduated in 1999. In 1999, I moved to San Antonio for my undergraduate studies in Philosophy and Literature (with a minor in Music) at University of Texas (UTSA). In 2006, I moved to New York to live with my brother for my master’s in Linguistics at the City University of New York and my master’s in Translation at New York University. In New York, I moved from Franklin Square to Queens, then Brooklyn and finally Manhattan. I met my wife and we converted to Judaism and married there and then moved to Midwood in Brooklyn. In 2012 we moved to Boston for a year before we moved home, Israel.
