About

The idea is to stay open. Demand discomfort. Discipline oneself to listen. Conversations over whiskey, in alleys, while painting or farming. Be Shameless. (And writing is never a solitary act.)

I live for now in Columbus, Ohio—by way of Boulder, Colorado, and Charlottesville, Virginia. I write poetry and nonfiction, spill paint on my bedsheets, and play with fountain pens. I like the mountains and dirty hands.

I used to write a blog called The Orchard. Current projects include a chapbook of poems, big graffiti, and the slow accumulation of paintings.

You can also find me on Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. I collect influences and inspirations on my Pinterest boards. To talk about commissions, collaborations or potential adventures, contact me directly.
