He is also on the Brockton Arts board of directors as their Social Media Director promoting their events and programming. His first chapbook of poems Threshold was printed in 2007. His new collection is titled Between Streetlights And Stars. “Threshold explored limitations and breaking points, beginnings and endings. This new collection explores the distance between what we have and what we desire. It’s also about risk. When you are under the sterile glow of streetlights, the stars are obscured. You have to venture out into the dark until you can see them.”
