I'm originally from Atlanta, GA, but relocated to Seattle for a few years, then moved to New York. I'm now based in Savannah, GA.

I'm a writer and editor with many years of experience writing for a wide variety of regional, national, and international publications. I've been a book reviewer for Publishers Weekly. I've covered films for the Tribeca Film Festival. And I've been an arts editor at various publications, including Tablet Magazine and Inside Philanthropy. I covered arts and culture for the Savannah Morning News for over six years and won two Georgia Press Association Awards for my journalism there. I've contributed to a long list of publications that include The Atlantic, Playboy, Village Voice, New York Press, USA Today, Juxtapoz, Dazed & Confused, SOMA, Beautiful/Decay, Flux, Elemental, RE:UP, Remix, Swindle, Resonance, and many others. I've also had a number of short stories published over the years in various lit journals, including Word Riot, Thieves Jargon, Defenestration, nthposition, Metazen, Flesh & Blood, Allegory Magazine, Coffin Bell Journal, and Neon Dystopia.

In addition to writing, I've worked in a variety of fields, including social services, community development, fine art, photography, architecture and design, theater, event production, and many other areas. I've worked in various capacities with different under-served populations, including the homeless, the elderly, and youth of all ages. I served on the Chatham County Cultural Affairs Commission where I chaired the Public Art Committee and also on the Savannah-Chatham County Historic Site and Monument Commission where I was vice-chair for four years and chair for two years. I also served on an advisory committee for the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum and worked with the Equal Justice Initiative’s Community Remembrance Project where I acted as community facilitator and organizer. I’m also a former board member of Art Rise Savannah and ARTS Southeast.
