I was born in Galveston, Texas in 1992. I spent my youth in the Carolinas and graduated from Clemson University's business school in 2014. I finished my first novel in 2015, a mystery about a college fraternity gone bad. Since then I've written eight more novels running the gamut from mystery to topical thriller. I'm the founder of Life9 Enterprises, a vertically integrated startup that seeks to influence the creative process from the initial manuscript through, ideally, film or television adaptation. Through Life9, I strive to champion writers and continue to amass a collection of highly marketable and adaptable commercial fiction. Based full time in Charlotte, North Carolina, I've lived my entire life in the southeastern United States. Whenever possible, I travel to Canada, Europe, South America, and the Caribbean. Travel plays a big role in my writing, as does incorporating fresh and exciting locales that provide a genuine feel for the diverse subsets of human culture. New Orleans holds a special place in my heart. When I'm not writing, I enjoy painting, running, and kayaking.
