His prose has been published by The Quotable, Citybeat, Voice of San Diego, Pinchback Press, Naughty American, The Huffington Post, Heinemann Press, and other alt. journalism and literary titles. He is co-editor of Last Night Night On Earth, a collectivist novel chronicling the day leading up to the end of the world through the perspectives of 20 writers all over the world, and The Far East: Everything Just As It Is, a people’s history of San Diego’s East County.
