Rev It Up and Go!

I am here for Networking

About Me

I am a freelance writer who specializes in articles covering rockabilly music, the lifestyle it hatched, and pretty much anything rockabilly-related. My pieces been published in Rockabilly/Rockabilly Monthly magazine and Atomic Kulture Magazine; I am also a contributor to Jumpin' From 6 to 6, an extensive rockabilly/roots rock website. I have had the privilege of interviewing a number of fascinating people--from pro wrestlers to roller derby queens--but my most satisfying conversations have been with those that share the same love of rockabilly that I have. For a sampling of my work, check out my interviews with Stray Cats drummer Slim Jim Phantom, Buzz Campbell of Hot Rod Lincoln, and former Brian Setzer Orchestra slap bassist, Mark W. Winchester, at www.jumpingfrom6to6.com. Look for additional articles by yours truly at www.atomickulturemagazine.com.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with a passion for rockabilly music and/or the lifestyle...performers and fans alike. I wouldn't mind meeting Elvis, but I'm pretty sure that's out of the question.
