I'm a writer and performer, currently based in Minneapolis after five years of living in Brooklyn, NYC. With over ten years of experience in writing across a variety of media platforms, I have developed a wide range of editorial and production skills for a spectrum of communication styles and forms.
My main focuses are in journalism, copywriting, blogging, creative content production, publication, and performance, social media, digital and print magazines, narrative fiction, and sketch comedy.
This website contains examples of my:
*Articles for print and online magazines.
*Copywriting: professional examples of my work for various clients.
Before you begin to read my articles, please take note that I developed and maintained an edgy, intentionally coarse language to adhere to Vice’s Codes of Style. It heavily contrasts from the voice required from my examples as a copywriter for nonprofit blogs; additionally, the writing samples on my website demonstrate my ability to adapt to any required marketing voice and they are not meant to demonstrate my natural writing style.

Get your bags lined up and your party-face on, because it's time once again for an epic cornhole tournament you won't want to miss.

You probably don't spend much time thinking about water, despite it being a necessity in your daily life. Many of us don't. The United States is one of the largest consumers of freshwater resources on Earth, with the average American using between 80 and 100 gallons per day.
There have been some really fucked-up deaths in the last few weeks. First off, there was that naked guy who ate someone's face , then there was that guy who disemboweled himself and flung his innards at a policeman , and let's not forget the French porn actor who dismembered his lover and distributed the body parts through the mail.

The USA loves three things: violent sports, adding more patties to burgers, and executing prisoners. Forty-three prisoners were put down last year, putting us behind only China, Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia.
