"Stephen Burzi was born, raised, and schooled in New York City, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, which he studied because ""literature tells the truth about history."" Since graduation-alongside a continuing study of various religions, mythologies, philosophies, cosmologies, and G. I. Gurdjieff's opus, Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson-he has enjoyed a long, successful, and fulfilling career supervising large-scale commercial construction projects in the New York Tristate area."
