He began writing for the student newspaper at Haverford College, eventually becoming its editor, and took a creative writingclass. He began writing microfiction and other creative writing, and eventually wrote five unpublished manuscripts which he considers "embarrassing". He submitted a manuscript about a young writer to publishers under a pseudonym, hoping that they would believe he was an established writer trying to hide his identity. The manuscript was published as Last Resort in 2022. He later published The Vegan, and Something Rotten.
