He is the author of several short story collections including "Polonaise: Stories," "Time Between Trains: Stories," and "North of the Port: Stories," and his stories have been read on Wisconsin Public Radio and National Public Radio. He is a Fellow of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, and lives with his wife in the country outside of Superior, Wisconsin.
