Thirty years ago, I was a baby. Twenty years ago, my mom caught me skipping school to watch opening day Cubs baseball. A decade ago, I was a few years removed from high school and pretty aimless. Five years ago, I was finishing a BA in English Lit at Bucknell University, freshly transferred from a community college with an Associate’s degree. Nearly two years ago, I finished an MFA in Fiction at Arizona State. Last year, I turned 31 and didn’t tell anyone. This year, I’m back in Kentucky for the first time in a decade, working at Appalshop in Whitesburg. Next year, I’ll release my first chapbook, entitled Maybe This Is What I Deserve, on Split/Lip Press. Years from now, I’ll look back and try to fill the spaces in between.

Feel free to shoot me an email.
