He has an MA in religion and theology from Andover Newton Theological School and an MFA from the University of Southern Maine's Stonecoast program. He can't imagine life without fly fishing, 20th century Polish poetry, or classic Simpsons. He lives with his wife, Sarrah, and their dog, Soxie (both of whom he also can't imagine life without) in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. This is his first collection of poems.
