I was a paperboy, car wash grunt, street-corner soft pretzel vendor, stock boy at a beer distributor, Teamster and a shipyard welder—all before my eighteenth birthday. Today I write essay, nonfiction and short stories from Bucks County, PA. I've published more than fifty stories and nonfiction articles in local and national media including Every Day Fiction, Fringe, Runner's World and Salon.com. My first book, the memoir "Twenty-Four Years To Boston," was published by St. Johann Press in 2013.
