I grew up and still live on the north side of Madison, WI not far from Snake Hollow.

In my youth I founded and ran two publishing companies – Bleak House Books (2000-2009) and Tyrus Books (2009-2017) until the latter was sold to Simon & Schuster. I now help people identify and tell the stories of their lives as a co-owner of Collaborist .

In 2014, after the suicide death of a friend, I volunteered in all 50 states as part of the Be Local Everywhere project. I believe in helping where we can, when we can. I currently serve on the boards of Common Wealth Development and Wrath-Bearing Tree. 

Currently exploring the universe through a variety of disconnected modalities in an effort to make sense of the how and the why and the what of our shared existence. In constant conversation with the poets, painters, philosophers, and searchers of the 21st Century Highway.
