I am interested in a variety of things, and thus wear several hats and titles: graduate student, husband, indie author, blogger, music enthusiast. The common thread that connects all of my hobbies and interests is writing. For me, writing is a complex activity. It is an art that deserves to be nurtured and a skill that must be refined. Moreover, it is a tool that allows me to explore both the harsh reality of the world and the fictitious ideas that dwell within my mind.
