Vinnie has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish and was an English minor at the University of Vermont, and also took Italian, French, and linguistics courses along the way. With an Associates Degree in Nursing attained in his mid-30s, he worked at a local (large) hospital for 11 years as well. He decided to take a break from nursing and is currently focusing on this blog about the perks and lifestyle of living in Vermont. His recently-published poetry book is also for sale (link located under the "Book" tab at the top)!
