Hey everyone! It’s going to be my first year completing the poetry marathon (my girlfriend and I are hunkering down to do it together, YAY!!). I am a SoCal-based visual artist with a BFA in Animation! I have a love for all things poetic and I am fascinated by the interplay between poetry and illustration. I plan to release a chapbook this winter for the first time ever!

I am also intensely into rock climbing, birding, storytelling, and learning new things!

Other marathons I have completed include a 3-year run of the 24 Hour Animation Challenge, where our team of 5 finished every time! I learned a LOT from that experience (including how many snacks to have stocked up, lol) and I feel that will help us both during this challenge!

I hope everyone has fun and we all make it through in one piece! GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!
