Hello friends! I'm a writer based out of Brooklyn, New York. I dabble in film photography and have been playing music for around 17 years.

I have a small place in a quaint neighborhood in a wonderful part of New York by a park. Sometimes I like to invite guests to stay for a day or so because it feels like something that deserves to be shared. The sleeping area is a loveseat in the living room that, while fairly small, is still pretty comfortable if you're not super tall. An inflatable mattress is available as well.

Feel free to reach out here or on Instagram. I can't always host but I'm usually up to hang out!
