I am a writer and teacher. I work in a range of genres: fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, as well as reviews and essays about books and music. If you like what I do, buy me a coffee (or cup of tea)!

Check out my books on Amazon. Spring Cleaning is a novel set in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania. A young man suddenly leaves his wife and newborn baby. Hurled into a journey of discovery and self-reckoning, his attempts to begin a new life lead to outcomes he is unprepared to face.

Rolling Rock is a novella: craziness follows a bunch of misfit friends when they escape their safe suburban homes for a night of adventure in Atlantic City and New York City. It's a rollicking, edgy "time in a beer bottle" take on adolescent life in the 1980s.

I also enjoy podcasting at Song Tripping (YouTube), The English Suite, and Podula Rasa.

I'm a hobbyist musician and songwriter. Listen to my music at bandcamp and soundcloud.

Medium and Substack are my primary outlets for new writing. I'm trying to put some goodness back in the world as best I can through stories and poems. Subscribe to new posts here.
