Welcome to Chord & Quill!

What is this? 

Hey! I’m Corey. I love writing but I stopped for a few years for some reason. Well actually it’s because I went through a lot of shit, which coincidentally gave me a ton to write about. 

What do you write about? 

I’m an open book, so that’s what I’ll write about. But more specifically, I love a lot of things so I want to keep this open. I know that goes against the whole specialty principle of this site and other blogs, but I also think there’s a space for people who are also Jacks, Jills, and Theys of-all-trades. 

Specific topics you’ll see here range from pop-culture to cooking, wellness and mental health to poetry, and a lot of musings about the goings on in the world. 

Give us more info about you.

Sure! I’m in my early-to-mid thirties. I work in the tech industry, specifically as a Design Program Manager. I am married and I have five kids. My first two kids are from my ex-wife who passed away last year. Two of my other kids are from my wife’s previous relationship and I adopted them, and my fifth kid is the one we had together. I initially went to college for journalism but switched majors a few times until I landed on Organizational Management, which I studied at University of San Francisco. I have lied in the Bay Area of California for most of my life, though I briefly lived in Arizona and lived in Portland, Oregon for about five years. 

Anything Else? 

Please subscribe! This means a lot to me! I have no current plans to make this a paid newsletter and want a place to share, journal, and mess around with some creative stuff. I really hope you enjoy it.
