Whether it’s the quiet longing of a Southern teen in a Columbia dorm room or the ruthless ambition of a CEO navigating global crisis, I’m drawn to characters on deeply personal journeys with life-changing consequences. My work blends high-stakes environments with emotional truth, grounded in the complexity of power, identity, and love.

Before turning to fiction full-time, I spent over a decade leading executive communications for Fortune 500 companies, working directly with five CEOs. That experience gave me a rare inside view of power structures—the stories organizations tell themselves, and the ones they bury. It also fuels the corporate authenticity behind my latest work.

My debut novel, Playing by the Book, is a coming-of-age story about identity, love, and self-discovery. It was the first LGBTQ coming-out novel to win a National IPPY Medal in the religious fiction category. I was represented by the late George Nicholson of Sterling Lord Literistic.

My latest project, Bloody Hell, is an upmarket corporate thriller that explores the limits of power, hidden agendas, and love inside the ruthless world of global pharmaceuticals. Currently seeking literary representation, I’m also developing my next novel, a speculative thriller set in the world of artificial intelligence.

I’m a former President of the Board for Lambda Literary, a graduate of Columbia Business School, and I studied filmmaking at New York University.
