I was born in a little town called Sayreville, NJ and grew up in an even smaller town named Neshanic Station, NJ. I chose English as a major because I enjoy writing creatively and searching for symbolism in the tiniest things. Listening to obscure indie bands and playing third-person adventure games are my favorite things in the world to do.

The names Anthony, but I'm more commonly known around campus as just, simply, "Dorunda." I play football here at Wilkes, or at least I'm on the team, and run that little cubby hole down in the Stark basement known as the Shelburne Communications television studio.

Digital Art is by far my favorite concept of study. This love grows from my constant obsession with the computer and the many facets this single tool has to offer.
