I'm a copyeditor by profession but returned to writing in my forties after a long hiatus. Since 2023, my short stories have appeared in various publications, including Epiphany, Pangyrus, Points in Case, Defenestration, BULL, and Pithead Chapel. I serve as an associate editor at MIDLVLMAG.
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 Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize. In 2025, it won the Maine Literary Award for Short Fiction and was listed as a distinguished story in The Best American Short Stories.
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 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.
