I am an award winning author, journalist, radio host, cocktail aficionado, Neapolitan pizza expert, hyper-competitive amateur bowler, social media skeptic, degrowth proponent, animal protector and enthusiastic advocate for bucket hats.

To get in touch, or to read some of the 4,000 or so short stories, articles, essays and interviews I've had the good fortune to get published, scroll down.

My work has been featured in Boulevard Magazine, Western Humanities Review, Michigan Quarterly Review, Space Squid, Swamp Ape Review, Tikkun, Hyperallergic, Grey Sparrow Journal, The Big Windows Review and dozens of other magazines, newspapers, literary journals and artist books. My interview with AFRICOBRA co-founder Gerald Williams is part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Archives of American Art. I've created several radio shows for WQRT, an experimental art, music, and community radio project by Big Car Collaborative, including the pandemic-inspired series Apocalypse Mixtape, and the artist interview series Art Racket. I earned a degree in filmmaking from Vancouver Film School, degrees in photojournalism and theater from Ball State University and a 2nd degree black belt from a little karate school in Indianapolis. I live in an old house in Muncie, Indiana, with a garage dojo and a giant vegetable garden where the neighbors and I get together to chat and let our dogs rub noses.
