He began attending Friday Night Writers in 2005, when he was a student in the Florida International University MFA program. He has been a semi-regular attendee since then, coming for inspiration, camaraderie, and the quality feedback that John and the group provide. His short stories and non-fiction have appeared in Miami Living, The Florida Book Review, and Tigertail. He lives in Miami, where he teaches writing at Florida International University.
