Based in New Jersey, Sam is currently a sophmore at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. He is a radio host, vinyl collector, and writer. Sam plans to major in Journalism and Media Studies and minor in Creative Writing. With a passion for writing and live music, Sam spends his time writing album and concert reviews and digging through the dollar bin at his local record store. Sam aims to incorporate his creative writing roots in all his work, hoping to echo the penmanship of 70s/80s Rock & Roll journalists.
