I began writing at the age of 16. I was prompted as most writers are by heartbreak. I remember it very clearly and vividly. I was in my room, laying the dark tossing and turning. And all of a sudden, in the darkness, a thought came to my head. “I should write this down.” And so, I flicked on the lights and my writing journey began from there. I wrote that night on a piece of looseleaf notebook paper for over 3 hours. In the dead of night. I was still finding myself at that time in my life, but it was the most natural feeling I’d ever experienced up to that point in my life. It felt free. It felt like flight. The years passed, and I went to college. I wanted to be a nurse at first. However, like most young men in their first semester of being away from the structure and discipline at home, I went off the rails. I nearly got kicked out of college after my first semester. I had a GPA of 1.8. Suffice it to say, my father was pissed. He’d spent his whole adult life doing his best to provide for his children. He’d worked tireless hours as a computer engineer for years just so that his children could live in comfort and safety. So, suffice it to say, failure was not an option. And luckily due to his chastisement and his Faith in God. I turned it around, but, by the time it came around to apply to the school of Nursing, my GPA was still too low. I was a sophomore in college and had no idea what I was going to do. One day, I sat in the library racking my brains and that natural urge came to me again, and I began to write. And I wrote and wrote. Poems. A few very short stories. It wasn’t much to hang a hat on, but it was something. The next day I talked to my advisor, and asked if there was a writing program. And sure enough, there was. I wanted to do poetry, but the grade for my intro to poetry composition was too low. However, my grade in my introduction to Fiction was satisfactory enough for me to be admitted. I spent the next two years in the Creative Writing Program at UNC-Wilmington and graduated in 2012. However, my love had dwindled by that point.

I was too young to understand the value of the gift that God had given me. I was so focused on making money at that point in my life and I quickly realized that there wasn’t much money to be made in writing at an entry level. So, I went into the lucrative career of being a Walmart Frozen Foods employee. After spending a year there, I joined the Army and deployed in 2015. My deployment was an eye-opening experience. I was a medic in Afghanistan and after learning so much about healthcare, I went into healthcare when I got back home. I became a Respiratory Therapist in 2019, and then Covid hit. And the next four years were a whirlwind of death, pain, triumph, sorrow and resilience. I saw things I never thought I’d see in my life. I saw more death than one can imagine. It was a living nightmare. But, form that nightmare I learned a lot about myself. I learned a lot about my coping mechanisms. And one of the greatest coping mechanisms I had was my writing. And for years, I would continue to write as a coping mechanism. Through break-ups. Through family members passing away. Through my own bouts with depression and anxiety. Through coming to terms with my own childhood trauma. As the years progressed, and I went through a very deep break-up. I came back to the table. But, this time it was different. Starting in April of 2024, I wrote everyday for at least 30 minutes. I began writing nonsense at first. Just anything and everything that came to my mind. It was hard. Writing non-stop for 30 minutes. I didn’t realize the amount of focus one must have to write for 30 minutes straight. At first it was difficult. Change always is. But the more I did it, the more routine it became. And one night, I came up with an idea for a historical fiction based in Germany around the time of the rise of the Nazis. It was a small blurb, but the work that came afterwards allowed that Idea to flower. And not very long after, I came up with a joke about the President. And the same thing happened, I forced myself to sit down every day and devote significant time to both projects. The latter, Prez for Pizza, being finished first. And the second and larger novel, Wildfang set to come out in 2025. Both of these books and the work that has ensued has been nothing short of life-changing. And I can thank no one else but God for the inspiration and the motivation to continue with these two books and to truly start my writing career in earnest. It has been a wild ride, and I am excited to see the next chapters of my life unfold. I am so thankful that you have chosen to join me on this journey!
