I’ve spent a lifetime collecting stories. Some happened around kitchen tables. Some halfway around the world. Some beside hospital beds. Some over a simple churro. These books gather those moments into something I hope outlives me.

BOOK ONE, THE PERFECT DATE

Poetry for the unexpected. Not love poems, life poems. About family, friendship, grief, joy, travel, gratitude, bonus time, blue moons, kitchen lights, and ordinary miracles. Every poem asks the same question: what if we noticed more?

BOOK TWO, IN SEARCH OF CHURROS

A cookbook disguised as a memoir, or a memoir disguised as a cookbook. Recipes, travel, stories, community, photography. The search eventually stopped being about churros. It became about the people who kept showing up beside them. Coming soon.

The search never really ends. It simply changes what you’re looking for.
