Ever since I was a kid drawing and writing ridiculous stories on countless sheets of computer paper, I have always been a storyteller and character creator. Stories can help us escape life or help us understand it better, and whether it's my own works or collaborating with others, I love developing a narrative to seek even a seed of that truth.

My own work can be found in Metal Weave Games's "Atlas Animalia," a TTRPG fantasy creature supplement, and their upcoming publication "Awakened," a Dungeons & Dragons NPC supplement. I've also worked as an editor on Sarah Dahlinger's "Seen and Unseen," a fantasy/historic fiction journal centered on the Panama Canal. I write cosplay interviews for the Final Fantasy XIV fan magazine Aetherflow Media, and in my free time, sometimes even manage to work on my own stories!

"I love life. But I don’t love life because it is pretty. Prettiness is only clothes-deep. I am a truer lover than that. I love it naked. There is beauty to me even in its ugliness. In fact, I deny the ugliness entirely, for its vices are often nobler than its virtues, and nearly always closer to a revelation."
--Eugene O'Neill
