Writing and publishing a book has been a dream of mine for years, and I'm immensely grateful and excited for my debut novella, Clean: the (mis)adventures of an alcoholic drug addict. I am a recovering drug addict and alcoholic myself, and I've been sober since July 8, 2016. I grew up in Canton, Ohio and have been writing since I was a child. I journal regularly and also like to write poetry and letters. I graduated from The Ohio State University in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and later obtained my Professional Engineer (PE) license. I am presently employed as a civil engineer in Cincinnati, Ohio, where I have lived for the past nearly eight years.
