About Me

I’m a fiddle player in the band, but no, we’re not from Texas. Photography is my addiction, Music is my heart and if you were to bleed me you’d find pure black coffee. If I lived on an island and had only five fruits, i would have, grapes, pineapples, coconuts, watermelon and strawberries, really all for practical reasons not just for taste. Born in Memphis. Lived in West Memphis, AR for 15 years of my life. I often find myself staring into space, wait...people often find me, I thank them for bringing me back. I struggle with foward motion. I can eat more chocolate and peanut butter in one day than the average human should have in one year. I often catch myself from falling down but that usually entails someone else taking it for me. I have met orphaned babies and I desire to tell the world about them. I aspire to have a photograph published in a well respected journal. If I ever make it into the Boston Marathon, I hope I don’t have too many cream pies before the race. I use to be anti-apple but now i own an ipod. I drive a VW Passat V6 stick. I drive fast, and often. I have a Treo but am still always late. I can sleep so hard I slept through a tornado once. Never, never tell me I can’t do something, only I can tell myself that.
