Hello! My name is Christopher Augusto Rincon, and I am a prospective Psychology/English double major here at Hunter College. In my spare time I enjoy watching and reviewing films, practicing Mixed Martial Arts, and playing video games. Fun Facts: I’ve been kicked in the head three times, I have no canine teeth, and I’ve been on four service trips to third world nations (once to Costa Rica, once to the Dominican Republic and twice to Honduras).

My father was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. The son of a musical prodigy, he quickly demonstrated an aptitude for playing the violin. At the tender age of 18, he immigrated to the United States to receive higher education at the University of Georgia, where he was granted a full music scholarship. It was there that he met my mother, an all-American girl from Tennessee who was also pursuing a degree in music performance. Although my mother is predominantly of English descent, her lineage is so profoundly ingrained in American history that it is difficult to identify her as anything other than American. Shortly after my birth, my parents moved to Forest Hills, where we lived for 3 years before relocating to our current place of residence in Long Beach, Long Island.
