I've been a copyeditor for the last twenty-five years and a writer for the last few. My short stories, populated by characters facing absurd, comically sad situations, can be found in Epiphany, Pangyrus, Points in Case, Defenestration, MIDLVLMAG, The Piker Press, Does It Have Pockets, 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 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, 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.​
