'Then I decided to give a serious try and I majored in both theater and communication,' he adds. 'I feel very blessed to have had a very happy and balanced upbringing with a lot of sports and a supportive family that let me do what I wanted to as long as I kept the good grades.'Īfter graduating from Campolindo, Pinkham attended Boston College where he spent two years studying a solid liberal arts curriculum.
