Forages on fiction in varied locales, from Manifest West, The Furious Gazelle, Bird’s Thumb, and Cutbank to a personal blog, Alluvial Dispositions. Distinguished by 2014 Pushcart nomination (for the short story “Shelter”). Aesthetics shaped by the University of Arizona MFA program, The Maine Review, Kore Press, and friends. Flocks in classrooms at Presidio School, the University of Arizona, Southern New Hampshire University, and elsewhere.
