About

I’m an essayist and memoirist, poet and journalist; a Boston-area educator and certified Dylanologist; a queer golfer, cat person, and songwriter into public transportation.

Originally from Orlando, I’ve lived in Chicago, NorCal, Tallahassee, and Boston. Now I’m based out of Salem, Massachusetts — Witch City! — where I live in a cozy apartment behind Steve’s Quality Market with my two cats, Sheldon and Florence.

I earned my MFA in Nonfiction writing from Emerson College in 2017, along with an M.A. in Literature from Florida State University in 2012. Now I teach writing, literature, and journalism in the Boston area. My manuscript in progress is a queer Bob Dylan memoir titled No Secrets to Conceal: Coming Out with Bob Dylan.

Find my work in the Normal School, The Rumpus, Slate, Boston Globe Magazine, havehashad, Fourth Genre, the RS500, Brevity Blog, Potomac Review, Essay Daily, Gravel, Redivider, Blood Orange Review, Quarter After Eight, Cincinnati Review, and elsewhere. I’m also Executive Editor of the Dylan Review, a scholarly journal of Bob Dylan studies.
