​Although I am a tradesman, my passion is storytelling. I have authored two unpublished fantasy novels and am a member of the Chicago Writers Association. I have co-written and co-produced three short films and done the sound score for two of them. I play a little guitar and piano and have written several original songs. In my free time, I prioritize family moments with my wife and daughter, enjoy a good book, and dabble in a little ballroom dance.
