If 10,000 hours is the measure of expertise, then I can say I'm truly expert at putting people into a drug induced coma, other than that, I'm a journeyman, coming to the craft of writing a little late.  I'm a first year MFA candidate at University of Montana's creative writing program, an anesthesiologist on the lamb, father of three and a river steward without a river. My work has been published in the now defunct Prism Magazine and Native Fish Society's Strong Runs.
