Where to begin? I’m a millenial guy from Syracuse, NY who loves writing stories, making music, playing horror video games, and spreading a little love and compassion when I can. I’ve been playing in rock bands since 10th grade, playing tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons since about 3rd grade, and writing stories since 1st grade. I’ve done some theater here and there and even wrote my own musical, We Want More, which got workshopped at CNY Playhouse in November 2022.

The first time I went into the studio with solo material, I recorded a selection of songs from the show, which can be found here. Since then, I’ve played with various Central New York acts, including Lee Terrace (2013-2018), Major Player (2016-2020), and my own folk rock duo Ramshki Alley (2017-2021). Once places started opening up again after the initial years of the pandemic, I started a band with some friends called Mosaic Mind, which is where I’m devoting most of my attention these days. You can find out more about my current and previous musical endeavours on the Music page.

Back when the Hannibal TV series was on, I co-hosted a horror podcast called A Matter of Taste with my college friend Michael Fiorilla. At first, all we discussed was the show; then, in the off-season, we would discuss anything horror related–movies, musicals, video games, etc. I met my friend Cleolinda Jones through the podcast (after following her blog for years). A fellow horror fan, she’s recently gotten into one of my favorite horror franchises, Silent Hill. You can find out about our parallel playthroughs of the 2024 Silent Hill 2 remake and more on the Streaming page.

Beyond that, I’ve been getting back into writing prose, including fiction. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Writing (with a minor in Music Theory/Literature) at Susquehanna Univeristy, and while I’ve since redirected my attention to the music side of things, I still get the urge to write prose every now and again. D&D and other tabletop games like Kids on Bikes, Call of Cthulhu, and Blades in the Dark have been a great way to flex both the writing and acting muscles, but I’m starting to sit down in front of an empty Word document and type to my heart’s content again. Honestly, starting this website was another way to use that muscle–I’ve been on social media for years and tried my hand at blogging in various ways, but I’m hoping this website can finally serve as a primary location where I can do that the way I like: rambling on and on without worrying too much about hashtags and traffic and such. We’ll see. And maybe there’ll be a “Writing” page on this website in the not-too-distant future.

If you read through all that, then I must be doing something right. Thanks for reading. Take care 🙂
