I am freelance writer from Denver, Colorado, where I live with my wife and daughter. For nearly two decades, I have held various communications roles at top financial brands (Charles Schwab, Janus Henderson). My writing has been published in well-regarded literary journals such as Grist Journal, Mud Season Review, and Red Savina Review. I have received a nomination for a Best of the Net in Creative Nonfiction. I graduated magna cum laude with a BA in English from National University and earned an interdisciplinary MA degree (concentrations in writing and business administration) from Western New Mexico University (as of 12/21). When I'm not writing, I enjoy powerlifting. There's a good bet that, right now, I have quite a bit of soreness in my hamstrings and quads.
