Poetry. I'm the sober member of the Drunken Writers Guild. (Found on my friends list.) We published a poetry collection called Soju Tense. Two of my poems appear in it. Also, check us out at www.drunkenwritersguild.net

I grew up in Shamokin, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Bloomsburg University in 99. In college I started attending monthly poetry readings in town, put on by a group called the River Poets. After college I taught for two years on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. While there I met Native American Rap Artist Gabe Nightshield, and in Rapid City met several writers, artists, and musicians. In Rapid City we helped organize poetry readings, and I took third place in the first South Dakota poetry slam. For two years I lived in North Carolina where I hosted poetry readings at Escape the Daily Grind in Salisbury. In the summer of 05, I achieved my long time dream of publishing a comic book, a poetry comic no less. Yarrum Samej ..1, with art by North Carolina artist John Spillman. July of 06 I went to Seoul, South Korea, to teach English. I'm continuing to pursue different art projects in various media, and hope to devote full time to my art one day.
