    <about><![CDATA[I have a degrees in Liberal Arts, History and Classics. I am about to complete Culinary school at Johnson and Wales. I wish I could be a student forever! My wife is Amy, and we have the best Great Dane in the world: Samson. I am a Freemason, and as well an initiate of the The Golden Dawn, (though I have been rather lazy with it recently, I am trying to persevere). I love reading and try to always have a book I'm into. I am always searching for new authors, and if you think we have similar tastes, I'd love to be your goodreads friend.]]></about>
