I'm not sure how to seem charming or endearing or worth getting to know on these sites. But I've got a good heart and I'm pretty damn funny.

I like my coffee black, my whiskey over ice and my beer American.

I write fiction. I'm pretty good at it. Or so I'm told.

I love storytelling. I'd be happy telling stories in a bar or around a backyard fire for the rest of my life. But for now I'm doing my best at putting my stories to paper and getting them out there.

At times I'm painfully liberal.

Graduated from college in May. Writing. Finishing up a novel. Finishing up a book on the George Washington Bridge.

I've worked in fish markets since I was a kid. I work full time in a pretty gangster one now.

Former beach rat turned bar rat.

I mean, there's gotta be something.

My hair. Also my hands. A girl once told me I had the most masculine hands she'd ever seen. Not sure how I'm supposed to feel about that.

The stories I'd like to tell.

crusin' for burgers.

Sometimes I listen to Taylor Swift...

I've moved you to do so.

Or if you really dig literature and want to chat about/ trade barbs on the subject.
