I'm a writer and software engineer in Kansas City, Missouri. Pronouns: he/him. I am on the Riverfront Readings Committee.

My personal blog, Random Modulation, uses the Python-powered Pelican static site generator and a simple theme I created.

I used to edit a free horror e-zine, tiny frights. Back issues and links to podcast episodes are still on the site, but it's now my personal horror blog. I still post as tiny frights on Bluesky and Mastodon, and the Redcircle and Bandcamp accounts for the tiny frights podcast remain active.
