Writer / Poet / Dream Chaser
Welcome to my whispers of word therapy.
Introduction
HELLO
You do not know me yet,
But I would like to know you.
Whether pages turned
Or digital feet helped you
Find your way,
It’s nice to share
This moment with you.
And so too, I hope
that this note
On which I’ve wrote
Opens a door
To your thoughts
Or your heart.
This is just the start
Of a trust
We’ll build together.
I trust, you’ll see
The language slapped
On pages here,
Pages you
With the start
To escape
And to know -
A feeling
Layered within
A dialogue,
That requires you
To be whole.

The Artist
About Me
If you have made it this far… thank you - and ya’maste.
I’m a Pure Michigan born identical twin and now a Pacific Northwest living poet who is chasing his voice and his dreams of becoming a writer using word therapy. I’ve spent my younger years breathing art and theater into my life before pivoting to a full-time career in corporate America. Coporate America has, and continues to, nurture my professional growth and proves rewarding in ways I didn't anticipate.
It has only been in the last couple of years that I have rediscovered my passion for writing. In living through the pandemic and being pushed into seeing the world in new ways, as well as my journey in this life - I have been able to recenter myself and re-energize a creativity and connection I’ve always loved with language. Rediscovering this hobby has revived a creative thirst and given breath and levity to the full range of life's experiences; ultimately, this art has played therapist to me by turning the mirror on the world and myself and establishing a union between challenge and creativity. By doing this, I aim to extend a commitment to my own emotional evolution in order to distill the most I can out of my time here.
Approach & Vision
My approach isn’t just taking lived experiences to inform my work but allowing myself to chase un-lived ideas in order to travel through feelings of hope, empathy and understanding when physical travel isn’t available. Many times, more than not, I find myself slipping into a hybrid of moments that I relish or languish... and link, if not sublimate, those ideas with imagined ones to find relief and reward in order to keep on moving forward. And not just in difficult times, but happy ones too. Whether trying to find rhyme or reason to challenge or hoping to capture a moment before it slips away - my aim is to explore both more deeply.
My hope and vision is that my style and approach will grow and evolve - as I move through the world and allow new experiences to shift my form and convention. I hope to create an art that allows myself and my readers to breathe more deeply and see more clearly, things that would otherwise, go unexplored.
