Author & Poet

I am a Navy veteran, a graduate of the United States Naval Academy, and a writer of literary fiction, poetry, and essays. My work explores survival, darkness, and what it costs to remain human inside systems designed to make that too expensive.

My short story “Jasmine & Blood” is forthcoming in the Dragon Soul Press anthology. My poetry has won the Letter Review Prize and appeared in the 2025 One Page Poetry Circle anthology. My debut novel, What We Know in the Dark, is currently seeking representation.
