Welcome! I’m a creative writer; this site showcases my fiction and non-fiction. You can read this interview where I talk about why I think creative non-fiction can be such an effective way to write about life and loss.

I’m also a sociology professor at Middlebury College in Vermont, where I teach about punishment, deviance, drugs and celebrity.

I teach creative non-fiction at Middlebury and in jails. In 2025, I will be co-facilitating a creative writing workshop in beautiful Sougia, Crete with my Modern Greek teacher and friend Corinne Falagaris. Stay tuned for more details!
