ASYLUM GRANTED HERE (visitors welcome)
Click here for my "life update" autobiography.
Greetings! You have found my web page! I am the first TSC (now TCNJ) alumni to have a home page!

I was born on 22.APR.1973. I have blue eyes (see above) and dark brown curly hair (though I was born with blond hair-- go figure). After graduating Jackson Memorial High School (Jackson, NJ) in 1991 where I was heavily involved in marching band, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in May 1995 at The College of New Jersey (Trenton, NJ) in psychology, with a minor in music. I started a Ph.D. program in clinical psychology at Northern Illinois University (De Kalb, IL, near Chicago) in fall 1995 and earned my M.A. in August 1997. You may also view the CV - Curriculum Vitae (Resume) of Kevin E. Gruenfeld (the formatting of html may make it look a little different than normal). I currently live in the center of the historic city of Philadelphia.

"That's the sort of thing I want you to understand. To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That's what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul-- would you understand why that's much harder." (Alissa Rosenbaum (Ayn Rand))

"Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise." (Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll))
