He discovered punk rock in high school and poetry in early college. Almost immediately, he began to integrate them both into his own spoken and performance art form in order to express his visceral aggression in sometimes subtle and sometimes not so subtle ways. He is the author of Songs From Heaven's Crooked Teeth and SIN(G), two chapbooks self-published under the name Mad Gleam Press. He has been published by bothNYSAI Press and Great weather for MEDIA in their most recent anthologies, as well as several journals and zines, both in print and online. He was also a featured artist in the New York based journal The Outcryer.
