I am based in Armstrong County, which is where I have been living my entire life. Being involved in the arts, theaters, and other communities is essential to survive as a writer.

I am a part of Armstrong Community Theater, which puts on five performances per year.

I participate in hobnob theatre’s monthly Improv on the first Friday of each month.

I attend the monthly (4th) Tuesday open mic for live poetry, music, and comedy at Blue Moon in Lawrenceville. Sign-ups begin at 7:30 p.m.

I am a supporter of the Armstrong County Arts Council.

I am a former member of the Writer’s Club at Butler County Community College, with twelve years of publication in their literary journal, Facets.
