About the Author

About Me:

What is there to say? I’m just a regular guy. I am a writer with a passion for good music, good food, martial science, and energetic healing. With a background in folk cultures, and movement systems, my approach to writing aims to marry language and movement; to express the simple truth and beauty to be found in everyday life, and experience.

Like cooking, martial science, and healing, the heart of writing is making a meaningful connection with others. I try to embody this idea in my work. I made my way from the City of Brotherly Love to Southern California following my own dreams, some years ago, and I’ve been out here ever since. Currently, I’m only a few hours away from the City of Angels (depending on traffic) there must be some poetry in that.

A writer must be a reader, but cannot be an indiscriminate reader—so just read the good stuff:)

Let life happen to you. If there is a secret to life, it’s this: Go live it. Don’t be afraid to try, don’t limit yourself to what others think is possible for you. Go out in the world; write, paint, make music, cook, run; do whatever brings you joy—Your art will manifest from what you love.

Editorial Reviews
