edit data

Born and bred in the Midwest, moved to California for the time being. I'm inspired by my students and fellow teachers, especially from my first six years teaching in Chicago. Their stories, their passions, and their humor have bled into my first novel and are shaping my current project.

I'm a Christian, a husband, a father, and a way-too-sarcastic high school English teacher (I'm working on it, but it seems to be part of the Language Arts pedagogy).

When not writing or teaching or spending time with my wonderful wife and 2 yo daughter, I'm splashing through a pool in my Speedo (tmi?) or hiking with our dog Milo or reading.
