I’ve been writing since I was in the fifth grade and decided to make serialized stories for my friends, which I’d pass out every month at their Boy Scout meetings in the basement of a church. The stories weren’t very good, but I kept writing and eventually got pretty good at it, at least enough for people to start reading my work and voraciously asking for more.
I’m currently seeking representation for my first novel The Painted Gods, a YA godpunk fantasy about teenagers who learn they are reincarnations of deities with artistically-influenced powers. I am also currently writing an adult horror novel about millennials’ experience growing up alongside the internet, which is currently called Oblivion Machine.
Beyond books, I am also a playwright. I wrote and produced his first play The Dancing Plague, commissioned in 2016 by The Right Brain Project. I then developed new plays through workshops at both The New Coordinates and Red Tape Theatre before their closures. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I also co-wrote, produced, and lent my acting talents to the short film don’t @ me (please) with the SlamFam Ensemble.
My plays are available to read on the New Play Exchange.
