I’m a writer and I live in Boston with my wife and two feral boys. Most of my stuff is in the personal essay genre, about everyday absurdities like how much it costs to be alive, but I’m a trained journalist so I can do reported pieces with personality.
Beyond writing, I’m a human Swiss Army Knife: copywriter, audio producer, video-creator, journalist-marketer, presenter-performer, pasta-cooker-eater and an absolute menace at comedy open mics if you can believe it.
