Bio

I am a writer and editor from Chicago, IL.

I graduated magna cum laude from North Park University in 2009 with a B.A. in English and a B.A. in Philosophy.

I have been writing and editing on a freelance, professional basis since 2005.

In January of 2011, I founded Anobium Books (Member of the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses) with my business partner, Mary J. Levine. Along with a small team of volunteers, we produce printed, artisanal chapbooks and a bi-annual literary review, showcasing strange, surreal and contemporary American literature.

I am well-dressed and well-read. My heroes are Werner Herzog and Franz Kafka.

What I write

Essays, fiction, film criticism, social criticism.
