PITTSBURGH POET

The Author

The eternal search for truth in the dark forest of false prophets has been my life's pursuit. As an author, it's my role to explore and reveal the unique perspectives that broaden our understanding of the world. The poetry and stories I forge from whiskey-soaked memories and fervent observations awakens passions among devoted readers and ignites debates. When we engage in critical, independent thought we are then free to live our truths.

Raised by hard-boiled Catholic trade unionists in the Rust Belt of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, my writing style is a smooth and uninhibited reflection of the once gritty region. In total freedom, I bleed untamed language onto each page to capture the powerful moments of life. My words paint portraits of the hidden beauty that’s often lost within the madness of our struggles.

Only courageous men and women have the guts to absorb my work. If you choose to pick up the books or become a patron, all I ask is that you prepare yourself to laugh and think, cry and rejoice. You and I, we’re about to embark on a quest to discover our truths. Along the journey, we will face many sins in battle with our demons. We will also explore the virtues that make our hearts beat a little stronger and our dreams taste a little sweeter.

Now grasp my hand, and we will walk this path together.
