Born in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania in 1969. I started writing very early on as a means of escapism. As I grew older I began to realize that writing was much more than just a way to escape the day to day of real life, but rather a way to help understand the day to day. Words on a page became a tangible way for me to touch the emotions in my life. By doing so I created a space in this world, where I could workshop that which was causing me to stumble; myself.
