CURRENT MISSION

Finish my novel.

ABOUT ME

I'm a fiction writer finishing up a novel. I work at an environmental non-profit three days a week, which doesn't feel like a day job because I love my boss and I believe in what I do. I have a small business, kind of a passion project that I'll tell you about in person. I like good food, good music and good people. I am trying to worry less about the state of the world and make more art instead.
