When I was 18 years old my father (who was an associate of The Wolf of Wall Street in the 90’s and set up IPO’s with Stratton Oakmont Inc.) was later arrested for securities fraud, convicted and sentenced to prison. He saddled me with $100,000 of debt, left and never told me. It is my journey to the truth. A story that on the surface seems to be about the loss of money and material things, but is really a story about the loss of a father, the loss of a family and of innocence and values, yet in the end, is about accountability, love and forgiveness.
Being of service to others.

My grandmother. She was a writer and died before I became a writer. I wish I could talk to her about what it was like for her when she wrote for the Long Beach Independent Newspaper.
It doesn’t matter what other people think of you.
“…the truth of a lot of what you have had to say is hard to pin down, but when one does enough work, one finds that underneath it all there was no “there”, there.” The judge said it during my father’s re-sentencing.
Always be rigorously honest with yourself.

I'm so glad you asked! It's a collection of personal essays and humor pieces — with a smattering of love poems, stories from my box office job, and subway overheards mixed in for good measure — about my big gay life in New York. It's my very first book and I spend a few minutes each day sobbing in gratitude that it came to be. Get it and read it! Take it to the beach! I'm not a beach person but my book is! The cover alone will make you the most popular person there.
