hi, hello.

There's never a good way to start these things is there? I grew up in East Tennessee, where I developed a love of fried chicken, boxed wine, and telling a good story--particularly those about where I call home. I've published work at a number of publications, including NYLON, Entertainment Weekly, Vulture, The Hollywood Reporter, and Esquire, where I spent five years as a staff writer. I currently live in Brooklyn with my partner and two cats, Puddle and Jimmy.
