I teach creative writing, literature, and composition courses in a variety of learning environments at Ball State University. With Victoria Barrett, I edit Freight Stories, an online fiction quarterly.

Modern Love, one of my short stories, was published as a chapbook in 2006. It is available at independent bookstores across the country, and also online. My good friend Ed Herrera provided the artwork.

My short stories, poems, essays, short screenplay, author interviews and other nonfiction are published in Esquire, The Cincinnati Review, Indianapolis Monthly, Mid-American Review, The Writer’s Chronicle, Writers Ask, The Versus Anthology, and Glimmer Train Stories.

A winner of individual artist grants from the Indiana Arts Commission and a Ball State summer salary award, I will soon complete a novel and a story collection.
