is a published writer, an award-winning songwriter and filmmaker, and business owner living in Philadelphia. He spent the last two decades of his life touring with his band Rivers Monroe, and completing his doctorate in Education at the University of Pennsylvania. 

​​

As a writer, he believes light is only truly valued under threat of the dark. Thus, he leans toward monsters, ghosts, and endings that are both happy and haunting.

​

In his spare time, he likes to get irrationally angry at 12-year-olds who taunt him in FIFA and practice simulated murder via Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

​

He also likes cats. A lot.
