About

If you can’t tell by the name, I come from a Greek family. Instead of opening an all-night diner, both my parents became writers. Needless to say, the olive didn't fall far from the tree. I bounced around a fair bit before becoming a writer myself. Some highlights from past jobs include serving grits to James Brown and placing million-dollar mutual fund orders.

My ad career has taken me to Atlanta, Denver, Albuquerque, Boulder, and NYC. Like a lot of New Yorkers, I decided to move to upstate NY with my family after the pandemic. We liked it so much we decided to stay up here, but I take the lovely Amtrak train into the city during the week.

If you like my work, or want some ideas for what to do in the Catskills, drop me a line at aaugustinos@gmail.com.
