Hey, I'm Michael.

Writer. Gamer. Occasional video essayist. Constant caffeine addict.

As a Boston native-turned-capital-region-transplant, I have three loves in life that supersede all others: writing, reading, and the '07-08' Boston Celtics.

Writing has always been the north star in my life. When I was first finding myself as a creative, when I chose what to study in college, when I try to idealize what I want my future to look like, it always comes back to writing. I graduated from Bridgewater State University with a bachelor's degree in English with a concentration in writing studies wherein I developed skills across a litany of writing styles, including copywriting, technical writing, creative writing, and non-fiction. In my teenage years, I wrote a handful of fiction short stories, but my writing has since shifted to media analysis (typically regarding video games) and how understanding virtual worlds can help us contextualize and understand our own.

Interests: Video games, cooking, anything by Stephen King, the Boston Celtics, annoying my dog, professional wrestling, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Paramore, Street Fighter, Dark Souls

This is my little furball, Freya. Please say hi; she loves the attention.
