My Story
I spent my life moving around the state of Wyoming, until my parents settled in Sheridan, just south of the Montana border. Once there, I split time between Sheridan and Kemmerer in southwestern Wyoming, where my family has raised sheep for five generations. I attended the University of Wyoming and received degrees in International Studies and Spanish Literature. Eventually and with some prodding, I remembered the call I felt as a child to become a writer, and now I currently attend New Mexico State University, where I am a graduate student in their MFA Program, studying fiction. I live in Mesilla, NM, where my wife joined me after our wedding in August 2018. I have several projects in the works, including a collection of short stories and a novel, and am actively sending out submissions to journals. My work has appeared or is forthcoming in Oasis, Burnt Pine Magazine, Wyoming Magazine, Cigar City Poetry Journal, Barren Magazine, and The Shore.
Wyoming is my debut collection of poetry and is now available from Finishing Line Press.
