I'm a writer, martial artist, veteran, activist, and organizer currently residing in Denver, Colorado, USA. My mission is to amplify forgotten voices, encourage compassion, and write badass stories about inspiring people.
I was originally born in rural Ohio, but left to join the U.S. military in 2010. I served one combat tour in Afghanistan, exited service, and traveled the U.S. in a van for a year. I fight for veteran and servicemember rights.
I'm currently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder II and PTSD. I advocate for mental health awareness and hope to normalize self-care, therapy, and mental health conversations at large.
Currently, I'm writing science fiction and fantasy books, podcasting, and organizing creative events for the marginalized and less-fortunate.
