Iceland Retreat 2021

Raised throughout the Midwest and parts of Ohio, much of my perspective of the world is forged through this lense, through haystacks and rolling farmland, as well as post-industrial America. I have a crushing sadness and reverence for humanity in my heart and a curiosity for life’s truest experiences and emotion. My fiction can be short and blunt like me, but oftentimes it is also observant, respectful, and surprising. This is my home, I hope you find a place for yourself here.
