The Author
34-year old English teacher, creative writer, actor and farmer currently based in Cherryville, North Carolina. Here, together with my wife and son, we take care of a 150-acre tree farm, covered with a herd of dairy goats, a coop full of chickens and an impossible number of gardens. In the spring of 2020, I graduated with a Master of Arts in Writing from Lenoir-Rhyne University in Asheville. The following fall, I accepted a teaching position at a local high school, teaching British Literature, World Literature, Honors and AP English.
