About

I didn't arrive at this work through theory.

​

Much of what shaped my writing came through lived experience, difficult self-examination, personal failure, deep observation, and a growing inability to ignore what no longer felt true.

 

Over time, I became increasingly interested in the quiet ways people disconnect from themselves while continuing to function normally in the world around them.

​

How people adapt.
Perform.
Compromise.
Remain silent.

​

How entire lives gradually become organized around maintaining identities that no longer fit.

​

I'm less interested in answers than recognition.​

​

Not through ideology.
Not through certainty.

​

Through attention.

​

Clarity is rarely something added.

​

More often, it is what remains once enough pretending falls away.

I live and write in Minnesota.
