I’m a writer from Texas living in Brooklyn, NY. My work has appeared in The Los Angeles Review of Books, The Brooklyn Rail, Electric Literature, Publishers Weekly, and elsewhere. I am currently earning my MFA in creative writing at Columbia University (2025), where I am at work on a memoir about mothers, ghosts, and visions.

I’m a singer-songwriter and indie musician. You can listen to my music on Spotify, Bandcamp, and other streaming services.

Find out when I release new music, schedule shows, and publish writing on my nascent Substsack, Randle In The Wind.

In 2011, my partner and I opened Shorty’s Pizza Shack, a college dive bar and slice shop in Waco, TX. Our second location opened in 2023.
