Born in Chicago, raised in Minneapolis and seeking life in Seoul. A weary wanderer, ultra explorer and true-wheeled cyclist, I love to say “Woo Hoo!”

Knowing the simple experiences in life hold the greatest adventures, I began exploring everything that held my interest at the University of Minnesota, from astronomy and anthropology to philosophy and poetics. I wound up with a BA in English Literature—of course. I earned my street cred while in college as a preschool teacher, waiter, dance instructor and massage therapist, and as an actor, teacher, author and publisher since. I did an MA in Korean Studies at Yonsei University—for S&G—and found in Korea a source of inspiration, linguistic and otherwise.

Now, I'm heading up Exile Press and raising twin boys, but I'm still always ready to say “Woo Hoo!"—are you?
