His poems have appeared in numerous journals including Jefferson Monthly, Mixer, Concord, Paw Print, and Open2Interpretation. He has read for diverse audiences such as Oregon Poetry Association, Windfall Reading Series, Tsunami Books, and Stonehenge Studio Reading Series; and was recently invited to open a session of the Oregon State Legislature.
