I cut my teeth as an independent video game journalist, writing for outlets like Front Towards Gamer, Yahoo News, Examiner, and Tech Raptor. I co-founded the site Geekenstein and co-hosted its companion podcast, Nuts and Bolts.

My writing has appeared in publications such as The Reprise, The Modern Artist, and engine(idling), where I lean into the raw, uncomfortable, and quietly devastating moments that define being alive. I’m currently building an interactive narrative game called Palimpsest.

Beyond writing, I’ve spent years in logistics and management, which shaped how I approach narrative design: systems thinking for branching stories, production discipline for scope and deadlines, and clear team communication across art, engineering, and QA. That operations backbone helps me design stories that are not only affecting on the page, but also shippable in a pipeline.

I have a degree in English and a history with East Central College, where I served as multimedia editor for the student newspaper, magazine, and website. I was editor-in-chief of the Literary Review, and my short story “The Knife Girl Chronicles” won the 2016 Creative Nonfiction Writing Contest.

When I’m not writing, I’m wrangling three cats and a corgi or trying to remember how to be human in a world that keeps shifting underfoot. I spend my time with friends, getting lost in the woods, or spiraling into YouTube rabbit holes about cults, cryptids, and the slow decay of American infrastructure. Basically, I’m either writing, wandering, or wondering what the hell comes next.
