Award-winning journalist, published poet, under-radar kind of guy. It’s the under-radar types who will save the world.
My first poetry chapbook, "Talking to Irwin," should be published in 2026 by Kelsay Books. I will be posting about the publication date when available, where the book can be purchased, times and dates for a release event and (hopefully) readings in Louisville, Pittsburgh, and other venues.

Exciting news - we're officially on the ballot! Together with our family and friends, Dean and I traveled to Frankfort to file my candidacy to serve as your next State Senator for District 6. This moment would not be possible without the encouragement, love, and support so many of you have provided.

I have had two poems accepted for publication in volume 2 of Abundance Literary Magazine. The issue, the theme of which is Man-Made Nature, will be published on Dec. 13. I'm very grateful for this recognition. #Abundance

Can Americans launch a nationwide strike against their governments excesses the way Israel has done? They can, but be prepared for pushback. #General Strike #Social Strike #Israel #Netanyahu #General Strike #Social Strike #Israel #Trump #Netanyahu #democracy
