I've been an editor for the last twenty-five years and a writer for the last several. I also serve as an associate editor at Mid-Level Management Literary Magazine. My own stories, populated by characters in comically sad situations, are often set in the workplace, where comic sadness really thrives. You can find my work in Epiphany, Pangyrus, Points in Case, Defenestration, Piker Press, MIDLVLMAG, and Does It Have Pockets, with upcoming pieces to appear in BULL and Pithead Chapel.
In 2024, I was nominated for Best of the Net for my flash piece The Projectionist (Does It Have Pockets). My short story Downstream Benefits (Pangyrus) was nominated for the Pushcart Prize and won the 2025 Maine Literary Award for Short Fiction. For more on that piece, read my interview with the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance. ​​​​​​
​​​I grew up in Hampton, New Hampshire, and earned what turned out to be a useful English degree from UNH. I now live in Maine with my wife, my daughter, and our potato-colored hound, Charlie. If I'm not editing, writing, or sleeping, I'm building props for my wife's upcoming escape room, Riddlehaven.​
