About me

I’m a writer based in New Jersey.

My writing is character based and currently focuses on people and systems after the apocalypse. I write both fiction and essays, often circling similar questions from different angles.

My stories have appeared in New Maps Magazine and Black Sheep. I’m currently working on a short story collection titled After the Second Wave.

I send short notes on new stories, published work, and what I’m learning while building my next book.
Thoughtful, infrequent, and written for readers who care about craft.
