I grew up in Meraux and attended St. Robert Bellarmine for elementary school and Holy Cross for High School. I graduated in 2007 with a BA in English Concentration Writing from Loyola New Orleans. In 2011, I earned my MA in Creative Writing from Southeastern Louisiana University. I later returned to Southeastern to earn my alternative certificate to teach English in 2015. I taught in the Lafayette area for the last 5 years, and am happy to come back home to St. Bernard Parish. I have a wife and two adorable cats.
