About

Photo of a book being read by the beach


Hi, I’m Daniel.

I write poetry and prose. I’m interested in the permeable membrane between the delightful and the grotesque. Often, I write about body horror and queer monstrosity. My short pieces have appeared in various magazines.

Currently, I’m pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of South Florida. I instruct Form & Technique of Fiction Course with an original curriculm, as well as First-Year Composition. In teaching, I value tailoring coursework to individual needs and creating engaging online courses. I worked as an intern for the Short Story Today podcast.

I formerly worked as an Associate Tools and Operations Specialist for Pegasystems. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and Creative Writing from New College of Florida.

Currently, I'm thinking about: labyrinths, center points, and doomed narratives
