Streets paved with opal sadness lead me counterclockwise to pockets of joy, and jazz.

I am a fiction writer from Ocean Grove, New Jersey, and former jazz columnist (2008-2011) for the TriCityNews, an alternative newsweekly in Asbury Park. Weather permitting, I write the occasional piece of criticism for Asbury Pulp, among other publications.
