Meet Your Consulting Editor
A life shaped by stories — and the truth behind them.
As far back as I can remember, I’ve been a storyteller. From 2003 to 2008, I served as a Judge Advocate in the U.S. Marine Corps, rising to the rank of Captain, and deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Since 2008, I have practiced law in upstate New York, specializing in criminal defense and family law.

The Library
Selected Works
A growing body of fiction and essays — each one a small invitation to slow down and look closer.
“Writing is the way I ground myself, what keeps me sane. Writing is the way I try and make sense of my life, try to find meaning in accident.”
