In 2003 I graduated from Emerson College. After working in restaurants in Boston for a year, I took a job as the ninth grade English teacher at Thurgood Marshall Academy in Washington, DC. When my TMA contract was up, I returned to my nomadic roots.
I eventually settled in Pawleys Island, South Carolina and enrolled part-time at Coastal Carolina University where I met my wife Laura in a literary theory course. In 2007 I started my MFA in fiction at Boston University.
Laura was chosen for a Princeton in Asia teaching fellowship in June of 2008, and immediately moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand to begin teaching about a zillion 8th graders. I joined her as soon as I finished my thesis, and we got married in Chiang Mai on August 29th. While in Asia, we traveled quite a lot (see blog). Though I worked part-time for ACE! Education, USA, a test-prep and English training agency, I spent most of my time working on a novel. Laura and I fell in love with Thailand, but we decided not to stay for a second year.
In the fall of 2009 I enrolled at Horry-Georgetown Technical Community College to retrain for a new profession: Heat Ventilation and Air Conditioning, otherwise known as HVAC. In the spring of 2010 I earned my ICE, NATE, and EPA certifications. The following summer, I started working for Pittman Heating and Air as a service technician. Currently I’m working on a novel about interfacing the Internet with our minds, wirelessly.
