I am a second generation American of Polish-Italian heritage, raised in Hamburg, New York, south of Buffalo. I've written for the Buffalo Spree magazine, the Whatcom Independent and Northwest Business Monthly magazines. I have had poetry published in the Buffalo News, and have written two poetry chapbooks. I also draw the very occasional Lab Rats comic strip.
I reside in Bellingham, Washington State, after an analysis of the best places in the United States in which to live.
