I wrote a book of stories called HICKSTERS, coming out with Grove Press early 2027. After that, they're publishing my novel JERRY!, which is told partly through imagined Jerry Springer episodes. 

​

WVU Press published my first novel SLIME LINE in 2024. It's about commercial fish processing. Lee Durkee called it "a cult classic" but so far

the cult is kinda small. Please join our ranks. 

​

Some of my shorter work appears in Guernica, Southern Review, The Baffler, Electric Lit, The Paris Review, The New Republic, Volume 0, and The New York Times. Find it here.

​I'm from rural PA but I live in Pittsburgh now, where I work in landscaping and run a reading series called SAD, B.C.
