Depending on the day of the week, I could be any combination of the following:

- a writer of fictions, nonfictions, and (albeit rarely) poetry
- a Ph.D. student in Creative Writing at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
- an avid traveler
- a rabid follower of most things soccer-related

Using the links above you can: find out more about me and my current academic pursuits; peruse my list of published short stories and articles; check out what books I’ve been reading; review the courses I’ve taken and taught in graduate school; and delve into my blog Unstable Realities, where I comment on our travels, reflect on what I’ve been reading and writing, and rant about international soccer.

Oh, and you can also read about what’s up with the some of the weird banner images.
