About Me

i'm currently living in birmingham working as art director of international expeditions , the world leader in nature travel. i'm a graphic designer, journalist, and pseudo photographer who is doing what i love and loving what i do.

some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. *delicious ambiguity...* -gilda radner

general interests::::
dance-a-thons in the livingroom. nikon. enthusiasm. originality. exploration and discovery. uninhibited people. things made by hand.

upcoming travels::::hitting the double decker arts festival in oxford, ms first of may. Next, madi and i are going to ecuador and the galapagos islands in early june. Trying to find an op to visit coop in ak :( soon.

My Interests

Learning about different cultures. Most anything outdoors. Graphic design. Photography. Writing. Listening to good stories. Traveling. Experiencing new things. People watching (I find you all very amusing!). Art festivals. Theater. Live music. Jukeboxes with variety. History. Dancing. Thrift stores. Bonfires. Road trips. Sports. Coffee table books. Magazines. Good food. Making a difference.
The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone? -Ecclesiastes 6:11

I'd like to meet:

someone real

someone unguarded

someone eager to enjoy this walk with me...

"Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music" -angela monet
