And stay awhile...

Welcome to a space where the rhythm of words dances with the melodies of life. This is more than just a home for short fiction and essays—it's an open journal of a journey, marked by the intricate lines of craft and the raw honesty of living. Here, I write not only about writing itself but also about the stories lived and felt: as a man, a father, a Marine, a writer and musician, a thinker, a waterman.

Step into a world where vocation meets avocation, and the everyday transforms into the extraordinary. Through original fiction, thoughtful essays, immersive podcasts, and engaging newsletter updates, you’ll find tales woven with personal truth and creative ambition. It’s all here, under one digital roof, inviting you to explore, reflect, and connect.

This space is for those who find meaning in the ebb and flow of life’s trials and triumphs. Whether it’s the camaraderie forged on the open sea or the quiet moments shared with loved ones, I aim to bring those experiences to the forefront. You’ll read about the lessons of resilience learned through military service, the nuances of fatherhood that shape a life, and the soulful notes of music that resonate with every story. Each piece, whether fiction or memoir, serves as a window into the broader human experience.
