Hello, everyone! My name is James Negri, and I am 25 years old. I was born in Delaware where I lived until my family's house was foreclosed on! I then moved with my family to Middlesex where we lived with my Grandma for a few years, and after moved to Bridgewater where I have lived off and on since. I was home-schooled from 1st to 12th grade and decided to join the Marine Corps as soon as I could!

In the military I lived all over the country, but for the most part stayed in Southern California! Life in the military was full of challenges, but I am grateful for the ways it has developed me. The united states is a beautiful place, and I believe I've visited at least 30 of the 50 states! While in the Marines I was deployed on a big boat to the Pacific Ocean!

While on this deployment I spent a month in Djibouti, a month in Singapore, a week in Oman, and 3 days in Hong Kong. Seeing the world vastly expanded my views of it, and helped me to understand that the culture in the US is such a small aspect of the world. Once out of the military I decided to become a graphic designer! I love art, and I love making things simple. In addition I thought it would be a great way for me to see a culture that was very different from the military culture! I did miss the world travel though, and just recently went on a mission trip to Ghana for two weeks! I hope to continue to see the world, and remind myself of how small I really am in it! I also
love video games and talking about deep subjects like what happens after death!
