David Coonan, Neighbor

I'm a teacher/writer/musician from Long Island. I have taught English, theater, and journalism formally, and music informally, and I love them all. I grew up in Lynbrook, moved to Malverne, and then moved back to Lynbrook. I got involved with Patch because I love to write, I have a passion for journalism and a good story, and I think this is the future of the craft. In my spare time I enjoy being creative, whether on an instrument, a word processor, or a stage.
