Bio:

I’m a multi-disciplinary artist interested in the collision of image and text and the vast possibilities of narrative forms.

I teach story and design thinking at the Peck School of the Arts at UWM and work as a rogue creative director and consultant.

In the past I’ve worked in advertising, curated fiction for Revelore Press, was the founding managing editor of Bridge Eight Magazine and co-founded the Abridged Reading Series in Jacksonville, FL. I’ve been to Tin House and Breadloaf and have a MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Tampa.

My work has been published in Brooklyn Rail, The Rumpus, Burrow Press Review, Heavy Feather Review, The EAT series, Perversion Magazine and elsewhere. My essay, What’s After The After: Nathaniel Stern’s Patatopian Visual Poetics, is part of Stern’s current exhibition catalog.

As a filmmaker and screenwriter, my work has been made into feature films, short films, and documentaries and I’ve written and directed music videos for a number of artists in multiple genres. I co-wrote the film The Devil Incarnate which was released in 2013.

I’m from Milwaukee. I live in Milwaukee.
