I Am From

I am from a small town, from four wheelers and dirt bikes. I am from the same house since the day I was born, back on a dead end road in the country. I am from the Kaskaskia River whose water flows behind my house.

I am from horses and walks through the woods, from Bill and Melissa. I am from the Greeks and people who like to eat, health, and fitness. I am from a nondenominational church. I am from Granny Great and Papoo, from Greek hamburger dressing and meatloaf, from "the old country", and from birthday celebrations. I am from those moments that embody family and the outdoors.
