Growing up in the ’80s and ’90s, I’m always pulled back by the nostalgia of that time. I remember the magic of browsing Blockbuster aisles, the thrill of finding a bestseller at Borders, and the fun of wandering the mall with friends on Friday nights. These memories aren’t just pieces of my past—they shape my imagination and inspire many of the stories I write today.

As a kid, I spent hours making up stories about colorful worlds and big adventures. That love for storytelling has stayed with me and is now at the center of everything I do.

Writing is more than just putting words on a page for me. It often helps me understand the world. Over the years, I’ve entered several short-story contests, including NYC Midnight, where my first story, The Well, earned an honorable mention, and subsequent stories, Again and The Impossible Escape of Giovanni Manetti, advanced to future rounds of the competition. Now, I’m putting that same passion into a full-length novel called Homers, and I have many more stories waiting to be written.

Besides writing, I love comic books, especially Marvel and the X-Men. I collect vinyl records from all kinds of genres and always have a long list of books I want to read. I’m also a big foodie who enjoys traveling and discovering new places, finding inspiration in the stories and experiences I come across.
