Hi! I'm native to New York's Hudson Valley and the neighboring Berkshire and Catskill mountains, an area rich with local legends. My goal is to evoke strong emotions through atmospheric and cinematic stories that feature flawed heroes who embody the best (and worst) of us, who always know what they want, but learn the hard way what they need. Always grounded in reality, my stories are peppered with the unreal. They can be dark at times, but they never lose sight of the light that keeps hope alive.
