Biography

I've been telling stories since the day I started talking and I've been writing since I could hold a pencil. Writing has been the only consistent thing in my life. It is my lover, my savior, and my best friend. I started writing short stories when I was about four years old in La Crosse, WI. As I got older and started discovering hidden pain and inner demons, I turned to poetry. Poetry was my only release to the world around me. I won various poetry contests and awards in the past ten years. My love for poetry soon morphed into a love for music when I began writing songs for the band I was playing in. A year ago I began writing a collecton of short stories which would eventually become my first book, 'Games Poor Kids Play'. A few months later I finished what I consider my best piece of work yet: Belly of the Beast. Belly of the Beast is a thriller about two strangers who come together under unusual circumstances in Riker's Island Prison and discover that they are not really strangers after all. Belly of the Beast was ranked in the top five out of thousands of entries in CourtTV's next great crime writer contest. In 2008 I completed my second collection of short stories: 32 Reasons I Need a Helmet.
