I've spent the last decade seeking unusual roadside attractions in an effort never to squander another summer waiting in theme-park lines holding an $8 lemon slushie. As a result, I've become a photographer, author and graphic designer to support the search. I currently have two books under my belt, the very popular Weird Texas and Weird Arizona . Plus, I'm currently researching Weird Oklahoma , so if you have any leads, let me know.
My hobbies include pressing buttons, singing '80s pop tunes off-key and purchasing needless office supplies. I hope one day to build the world's largest something and maybe open a tiki bar.
I don't much care for sports, country music or dance clubs, which makes it difficult to find kindred spirits in Dallas. I do, however, love a good bar, a quick wit and improvised fun. I also like pop culture, coffee, gadgets, the Discovery Channel, dollar stores, Halloween, Calvin & Hobbes, cold cereal, warm donuts, the sound of large, rounded stones clacking together, old motel signs, bookstores, miniature cupcakes with a buttercream icing that's slightly crisp on the surface, the string around bologna, but not bologna, the words "dubious" and "farrago," pockets, mint chocolate-chip ice cream, fruit pie crust, National Geographic, Andy Goldsworthy, sexy little glasses, anything enlarged to a ridiculous scale, foul language and sidelong glances.
