Bio:

I live with my wife and two daughters – my inspiration – in the small beach town of Point Pleasant, New Jersey. My fiction has appeared in Pure Slush Books, Truth Serum Press, 52/250 – A Year in Flash, and Istanbul Literary Review. Prior to fiction, I wrote and produced television shows for The Discovery Channel, TLC, HGTV, and Baby First Television.
