About Me

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

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. (I intend to migrate all the podcast to self-hosting, but who knows if I'll ever get around to it?)
