Hiya!

I'm an avid reader, lifelong mystery lover, and debut author.

​

Growing up, I spent countless hours watching Murder, She Wrote with my grandma and read any mystery series I could get my hands on from Cam Janesn to The Boxcar Children.

​

Fast forward to 2020. I was living alone in a 200-square-foot studio apartment in Asbury Park, NJ during the pandemic. I was living hours away from my nearest family. Unable to go anywhere, I found a joyful respite in cozy mystery novels, allowing myself to be transported to coffeeshops, bookstores, and other cozy locations I couldn't visit in person. I made friends with the amateur sleuths and quirky cast of characters in the long-running series I was devouring.

​

As much as I fell in love with the genre, I quickly realized that it was rare to see a character like me—a gay man—represented on the page, especially as a protagonist. So I set out to write my first mystery. ​

​

When I'm not writing, revising, or publishing a story, I enjoy reading (of course!), taking long walks, listening to live music, and tasting new craft cocktails in my chosen hometown of Asbury Park, NJ.
