Born in Memphis, he was switched at birth (but found before it was too late); he’s since bounced around and considers New Jersey home. He sings two songs really well at karaoke, needs to restring his guitar, has an amazing partner, Mariana, and believes there’s nothing wrong with his owning a Kurt Vonnegut stuffed doll. He holds an MA from Monmouth University, and his prose and poetry have been published in Crack the Spine and Pif.
