I write fiction. My stories have appeared in Black Warrior Review, Ecotone, New England Review, and Zoetrope: All-Story, where I received first prize in the 2022 Short Fiction Competition. I have a PhD in English from Rutgers and wrote a dissertation on modernism and literary minimalism (think Beckett). Born in Philadelphia, I grew up in Delaware County, PA—Delco, for those who know it well—and now live with my family in California. I’m at work on a novel.
