About Me

My name is Garrick Tolley and I was born in the all powerful city of bridges, champions, and steel: Pittsburgh. My noble parents were Geoffrey Tolley, hailing from Buffalo, New York, and Jane Scialfa, daughter of Charlie Scialfa of Italy, hailing from St. Louis Missouri. As a young lad I enjoyed both playing soccer and skiing, and I have continued participating in both of these superb activies. I attended school in a suburb of Pittsburgh formally known as Mt. Lebanon but informally known as "the bubble" due to the extreme lack of diversity in the community and an unforunate tendency of parents to shield there children from the real world and allow them to live in a place earily similar to Peter Pan's Neverland (post- Captain Hook). After graduating high school, I spent the summer straight chilling and working just a tad bit also. Then I journeyed down to the rugged land of Middle Earth, aka Durham.

Skiing

Although my parents felt immense love for me, they still decided to make me a leash-child during my early skiing adventures. As a leash-child, I was thrown into a harness and my parents would ski behind me, thus forcefully dictating my every direction as though I was a baby calf being hurded into an undesirable holding pen. Fortunately, these horrible times faded away, and my ruthless training reaped many benefits. I have gone skiing in Utah, Colorado, and Canada.

Soccer

Google Zach Batteer. I played High School soccer with him. We Won WPIALS's. He's a big deal. Using the transitive property, my team was a big deal. That is all.
