Bio
My work is inspired by my escapades throughout California. Lately, my musings have become more retrospective in nature.
The writing will range from poetry to short stories and will revolve around music, art, design, family, loss, and love.

The Capital of Silicon Valley
San José is the warmth of the golden sun, high in the bright blue sky. It is the striking green of the rolling hills surrounding the valley I call home. It is the Palm trees that line the boulevards and avenues. It is a hub of transportation, and a crossroads of sorts. Only a 45 minute drive from foggy San Francisco on the scenic 101, or a train ride away from the ocean.

The Blackout
The streets are still slick and damp from last night’s rain. The gravelly pavement is spongy with water from the downpour that bombarded the city most of last week. Although the sky is tinged with ominous looking clouds in the distance, the day is tepid and surprisingly not cold or misty at all, which is a rare occurrence in this city, where it’s common to see fog rolling in around the Financial District or Fisherman’s Wharf, after a perfectly sunny morning. Eerily, the fog rolling in on such a beautiful day seems like a harbinger of ominous things to come and a symbol of my current circumstances.
