Author's Bio

My stories have appeared in Your Impossible Voice, Burning House Press, Jellyfish Review, Queen Mob's Teahouse, Chelsea Station, and Vol. 1 Brooklyn, among others, as well as in the anthologies Best Gay Stories 2016 and Best Gay Stories 2017 published by Lethe Press. In addition, I've written theater pieces for the Philadelphia Fringe Festival and Sacred Fools Theater Company in Los Angeles. 

I’m also a co-producer of No, YOU Tell It!, a nonfiction reading series that advocates for authentic personal stories by having storytellers speak each other’s words aloud. 

I've been a National Endowment for the Humanities summer scholar and the recipient of writing fellowships from The Sundress Academy for the Arts and The Edward F. Albee Foundation.
