I'm a writer and photographer based in Indiana. My writing conveys a range of environmental and philosophical elements that draw humanity closer to the natural world and to themselves. I live in an old farmhouse with my partner and an array of animal companions. My educational background includes advanced degrees in psychology and creative nonfiction writing, with equal devotion to both crafts. I have a penchant for sprinkle doughnuts and fountain pens. Conversation, coffee, and internet cats fuel my writing habits and I indulge whenever I can.
