I grew up on Cleveland's west side, went to University School, then received a BA with a major in Writing Composition from Denison University. While at Denison I studied under David Baker, Dean of the English Department and Midland Poetry Prize winner for Sweet Home Saturday Night. I love John Irving, Graham Greene, Thomas Pynchon, Cormac McCarthy, Tim O'Brien, Michael Chabon, Melville, Hemingway, Faulkner, etc. more...
