Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable.
Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, 
and see if we may not eff it after all.

Over Her Body

Things change when you become a father. The only way I know to deal with it, to explore how difficult and beautiful things are, is to imagine I've lost them.

Spilling Empty Cup

The day I took a rushed flight to say goodbye to my father is one I remember with the kind of clarity we mistakenly refer to as photographic memory. I wrote this piece a few weeks later.

“I’ve known no quiet as empty or full
​as a hospital room whose machinery
​has gone silent”

Balance

My first short story was published in the Rappahannock Review Issue 9.1.
​A science fiction piece that explores what happens when the wrong people hold on to power for too long. You can read the interview as well where I... well, explain myself.

“Limit resources, make the people compete for what’s rightfully theirs, keep them looking left and right instead of up. Zero-sum mindsets in a zero-sum machine.”

Felon's Rumour

I've written my fair share of poetry, but this is the first time it's been adapted for the comic book medium (stay tuned for more in this space!). Special thanks to Rogue Wave Comics for including this piece in the second issue of their Graphic Lit Anthology. 

​It's a poem about all the things we've done in our lives that we regret, and how they come for us in our weakest moments if we don't face them first.

"And when her rumour finds you
She'll hold all you left behind you"

WELCOME 
Story is humankind's greatest invention. Better than cars (which are just the gas burning punchlines of engineering stories), better than sliced bread (it's embarrassing it makes anyone's list), and better than soccer (all heroes are stories, even the sports ones). Story makes everything that has ever happened, happen. The great and the awful.

Stories inspire us, drive us mad, turn us on, and change our minds. Welcome to the place where you'll find some of mine. I'm humbled you're here. Genuinely.

Need help telling your stories? Let's talk. I have written and ghost written for leaders and organizations and start-ups and wayward pets across industries and around the world. If I believe in what you're doing, I'll help you talk about it.
