Back in the day, a couple of years after my birth in Minnesota, someone took this photo of me. I'm in the backseat of a maroon Dodge Caravan. You can see my most favorite-est blanket to my right. My hands look a little slimy and I am holding something between my fingers. However, the 'something' is transparent; I can't think of what it could be.
Eventually, I got behind the wheel and traveled to Wisconsin for college, then Colorado and Washington, D.C. for work, then Hawaii for fun, back to Minnesota where I fell in love. That love and I moved to Amsterdam in January of 2020, which is where we currently reside with our two cats, Üni and Otto.
I am the author of Karma, a Love Story, a co-editor and contributor to Book of Admiration, some of my fictions and essays live on the internet, and I am currently working on a book featuring magnets and robots, as well as a digital interactive chapbook.
Currently, my work is focused on web design and development. You can learn more about that at Hafi Design.
