Welcome!

Thanks for visiting! The video above of my 1980s soccer team inspired my graphic memoir, THE KEEPER. I'm the tall one with a mullet wearing a blue goalkeeper's uniform. The video was filmed by team parent Dave Ross, whom I call Mr. Ryan in the book.

I am also the coeditor of the new FIELD GUIDE TO GRAPHIC LITERATURE!
