Happily you've reached my page. Welcome! I’m a teacher in New York City who also writes and takes photos on the side. One is never fully severed from the other. Each morning my students arrive with their curiosity. Full of ideas and raw ambition, both light and darkness from the world around can seep into the classroom at any time.

The flash between here and there - word and art - is where the drama unfolds.
My photos "Zoom Gloom" and "Black Lives are Beloved" were in the online Detour-Ahead Exhibition in 2020-21. While the world snaps photos of themselves, I've been photographing daily life raw and unguarded. People are the most interesting when they are themselves. See more.

Poetry is another passion. "In a Pandemic" is in the fall 2020 issue of Open Minds Quarterly. In November 2019 "A Gust of Wind" was published in The Tiny Seed Journal. My modern limerick about Pluto was published in THAT Literary Review, an annual journal at Auburn University.

I'm proud to point to a feature on Bookshare that I wrote for the 2019 Winter Bulletin published by the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. You may also read Civil War era biographies that I wrote for a national historic pioneer cemetery. American Gothic is an era of interest.
