He has had poems published in the literary magazine "Haute Dish" and articles in "The Metropolitan" newspaper. In 2013, he published a book of poems called "Poems from the Inner Spark". As a contributor to the Minneapolis art scene, Scubbe wrote, directed, and produced a play called "The Pat Ryan Effect", which was shown at the Minneapolis Fringe Festival. He has also participated in open book workshops as a member of the Playwrights' Center in Minneapolis. Along with a Bachelor degree in Criminal Justice from Brown College, Schubbe studied creative writing at Metropolitan State University where he earned a second Bachelor degree in Professional Writing.
