Bio
Sometimes, writing can be hard. It's, as my father says, like pulling words from your skin. I usually imagine that being done with tweezers; like plucking hairs. It sucks. But at the same time, why do we do it? Why do I do it? I like the words I pull.
So who am I? I'm a dude born in LA, born to an LA family, raised in the business. I'm much more interested in the personal success of creating meaningful stories than the public success of riches and fame. I'd like the words I write to stand on their own.
So let's start there.

Favorite Quotes
"Perhaps, the most important thing to remember about that which we are faced with: Fascism, at its core, is a fraud. It promises the triumphal resurrection of the nation, and delivers only devastation. Strength without wisdom is a chimera, resolve without competence a travesty." --David Neiwert, "The Rise of Pseudo-Fascism," p.22
"I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way." --Mark Twain
"Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight." --Marcus Aurelius
