The Author of Because We Are and There is a Land

I entered into the world of writing with Because We Are:  A Novel of Haiti.

It all began while a law student when I interned in a community in Haiti called Cité Soleil. Observing life there and building relationships, characters took hold and wouldn't let go. Between law briefs and academic papers, I began drafting my little story.

It's remained an exciting journey. While originally a self-published novel, Thomas & Mercer acquired Because We Are and republished it on July 22, 2014, just as my wife and I returned to Haiti to serve with Mennonite Central Committee as policy analysts. To undertake this work, we left our home in Philadelphia where I studied at the Drexel University School of Law and began my legal practice at Christian Legal Clinics of Philadelphia, a faith-based legal service provider. We're now back in the U.S. and excited for what will come next.

I hope to continue telling stories that provoke, enlighten, and transport you and other readers to corners of the world you might never visit. Please feel free to connect -- I'd love to hear from you!
