Imaginative. Conceptual.

Writer + Creative

I’ve lived days as a custodian, a landscaper, a teacher, a student. I’ve lived as a journalist, a musician, I’ve been behind the counter at a liquor store and in front of it. I’ve lived days where I was rich, where I was poor, where I was successful, where I was a failure. I’ve hitchhiked rides in the back of pick up trucks, sat in the driver’s seat in sports cars, sat in the back of tuk tuks, in first class, in the aisle of sweaty packed trains, steered 15 foot boston whalers, and shaken hands with the Boston Bruins. I’ve explored life.

But through it all one thing stayed the same – I’ve been a writer.

An eager spirit, a person worth talking to, and a helluva head of hair.
