I'm one with the sea − at peace as its waters flow from my nib to form fluid and dynamic language on every pulp fibre it touches. 

I discovered story telling in my late teens, technical writing a couple years later, and poetry in my mid-twenties. For as long as I can remember though, I've been fascinated by language.

Stringing words together is much like writing a piece of music, where each syllable has a distinct tone that can compliment or sour those surrounding it. My style is succinct and meaningful, as excess wordage reads as a cacophonous ruckus.

I write for the sake of preserving meaningful communication. I believe that word choice can affect our reaction to information more than the message itself. I write for you, me and a world that deserves to read our message in its best light.
