I’m just a fella who forgot his kitchen knife at home.

OK, that’s not entirely true. But carrying large Japanese cutlery around New York sounded a little sus. So I opted for the more acceptable option: a pen.

Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, I grew up surrounded by forests and footwear moguls. I’ve been writing unsolicited thoughts in the footnotes my entire life, which definitely led to frequent berating from nuns and priests over the years. Lucky for me, it’s more acceptable now than ever, and I haven’t been purposefully hit with a ruler in years.

You’ll either catch me cooking, reminiscing on failed SNKRS app attempts, mending well-worn denim, cracking a cold one with buddies over some basketball/anime/Twitch/tunes, or scribbling a series of stories that just came to mind on any paper I can find.
