Future author of a series of pro wrestling novels. Past author of a short story collection, two poetry chapbooks and an ebook (The Thief, 99 cents on Amazon).

My work has appeared in over 70 publications in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., and has been nominated for the “Best of the Web” series and the Pushcart Prize. One of my short pieces appeared in a literary journal alongside things written by comedians Sarah Silverman, Patton Oswalt and David Cross.

A haiku of mine was read on Colt Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast. I’m also Reference #14 on the "Toothbrush moustache" Wikipedia page, and Reference #2 on the German Paul Revere and the Raiders Wikipedia page, each for pieces I wrote for web sites that no longer exist.
