My first taste of audience engagement arrived in high school, when a satire piece earned laughs and a light foot chase from angry classmates who didn’t quite get the joke.

Today I’m an award-winning creative who’s crafted copy for GEICO, the ADC Annual Awards, the JFK Library, Change the Ref, Suntory/Roku Gin, Navy Federal Credit Union, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, Perfect Bar, E*TRADE, and KFC (just to name a few).

And while the halcyon days of unintentional high school exercise are long behind me, I’ve since been published in McSweeney's, Cartoon Collections, Gizmodo, GamePro Magazine, PC World, Weekly Humorist, Points In Case and, in ancient times, the Portsmouth Herald.

I’m teaching myself to illustrate with the goal of writing a children’s book some day. Fun, adorable fact: my wife sends me captions and prompts that I use to create original cartoons.

Short Fiction

I’m also an aspiring short story author, specifically speculative fiction. Writing novels isn’t really my thing, but I’d love to publish a short story collection one day.
