I've been writing since I was a child reading the Swiss Family Robinson (of all things) for the hundredth time as a boy eager to escape into story. My journey through life has been fractured and frustrating, ridiculous and hilarious. My biting yet somber sense of humor is as tilted as my personal perspective, and my passion for making people laugh long enough to forget how precarious life can be - by reminding them how precarious life can be - is strong and unyielding.</p>
