My Interests

I perform and compose jazz piano music, write fiction, have two B.A.s from U.C. Berkeley, and an MBA from CSU Channel Islands.

Selected Publications

My humorous short story, "Birds These Days," was published in Rundelania. It is about an owl who meets a very stony-faced owl on the roof of a garage, but when it does not respond to his advances, the reason why surprises him.

My short fiction, "The Story of a Story," was published in Barzakh Magazine. The story has a meta structure that makes readers question how and why they read fiction, by presenting and commenting on a character who leads a double-life behind his wife's back.

My humorous short story, "Dial-a-Bird," about a cleaning service run by owls and staffed by different bird species, has been published in The Headlight Review.
