Born and bred in Concord Massachusetts, my childhood was filled with Lego, mucking for frogs, adventuring as a pirate, or sitting criss cross apple sauce while I sorted through piles of Magic Cards. A slow reader, a bad speller, and with a penchant for pronouncing the letter "r" as "w", I spent my fair share of fourth periods in special ed, and my love of reading came slow. But it did come, and with it my love for story.

For over a decade I've battled in the trenches of Wall Street (both at a major bank and then a hedge fund), all while my passion for writing simmered in the background. It found its way out in random blog posts, colorful emails to friends, and the occasional story written in starts and stops.

Over time, that passion turned more serious, and as I learned more about the craft it became an inevitability that I would pursue, with a fervor, my dream of writing. I have stories to tell, and I hope that you will enjoy hearing them.

Outside of work, daily writing sessions, reading, and too many cups of coffee, I am a foster dog parent, and a competitive Magic: the Gathering player. I enjoy all kinds of strategy games, and like nothing more than the smell of fall on a rainy day.
