I'm a narrative nonfiction writer interested in personal stories, essays, and memoir. Many of my stories are food-adjacent because I spent much of my career working in back kitchens and food manufacturing before becoming a high school teacher, business professor, and educational consultant.
In addition to writing, my interests include gardening and cooking, coffee roasting, garment sewing, thrifting home decor, and pre-1990 movies and television. I use this space to organize my thoughts and launch occasional missives.
Subscribe to receive my newsletter, The Mustard Sandwich 🥪, a quarterly'ish digest of curious food stories and profiles, and links to food-adjacent goings on. I also write the occasional essay, but don't worry – I'm very inconsistent.
