The stories I write explore reluctant characters battling soul-crushing systems. (SEVERANCE and PLUR1BUS are top favs.)

All three of my completed screenplays have won awards, and I'm currently working on next steps. Stay tuned!

​

My flash fiction, "Baby Boy Davidson," was a finalist for the Anton Chekhov Award. "The Cruise" placed in the Top 20 for The Letter Review Prize.

​

The 10-minute play, "The Replacement," is being published by American Masters Review and was a finalist for Art of Freedom LIVE's 2026 theatre event.

​

And "Letting Go of What If," a personal narrative, was published in Western New York Family Magazine and Adelaide Magazine. Another personal narrative, "Meno-Pause" was published in HerStry.

​

My poems have appeared in various places, including Pulp Poets Press.

I've been teaching for over 20 years. Before that, I had two other careers: documentary filmmaking during the NYC indie film movement, and brand strategizing during the dawn of internet advertising. Both careers strengthened my love of storytelling.

When I’m not writing, I'm traveling, listening to podcasts, and watching movies with my wife, son, and our chocolate Lab—who thinks every film is an opportunity to squeak ALL his toys. Am I alone in this?
