About

I’m a Philadelphia-based writer and multimedia artist who makes things designed to be useful and fun.

Just-go-for-it DIY punk-rock culture sculpted a major chunk of how I do things, so you’ll see that influence around the site:

I write technical documentation full-time, do standup comedy, and take enthusiastic shots at other creative media and new styles just to see if I can do it. Adventure artifacts like The Punk Rock Fortune Teller, short fiction, short films, how-to docs, and my newsletter archive live here, and Photoshop experimentation is on my Instagram.

Investigating what people get up to and collaborating with folks I like have long been common threads in both what I do professionally and what I make on my own steam. A happy marriage of those pursuits is interviewing my friends, who as a rule are pretty funny.

Thank you for stopping by! I’m always learning new ways to build things I think are cool, so more to come here. I hope you enjoy checking out the stuff I make.
