Portrait photography of a young man wearing a leather jacket against a soft-focus, natural outdoor background. The lighting is warm and gentle, creating an approachable and calm mood.

I live in Fort Collins, Colorado. I am currently in the International Baccalaureate program at Poudre High School. Besides writing, I enjoy rock climbing and skiing. I am an alumnus of writing residency programs at the Yale Young Writers workshop at Yale University, the Iowa Young Writers Studio (IYWS) at the University of Iowa and the Kenyon Review’s Young Writers workshop. I was also selected for the Yale Young Global Scholars program at Yale University. I am currently the principal cellist in my high school’s advanced chamber orchestra.
