I am here for Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me



Hi, I'm David, welcome to my lil corner of myspace. I'm an eclectic yet simple guy... I enjoy my music, from Metallica to George Strait to some smooth Jazz like Chris Botti, Boney James or the Rippingtons. I spend some time at the coast, but my heart is in the mountains, especially in the fall and winter. I enjoy the outdoors, which is always the inspiration for my photography, writing and craftwork. I love and treasure my family and friends, my dogs, and everything life has to offer. Always enjoy meeting new people and experiencing new things!

Make yourself at home, look around, and if something moves (or confuses) you, please leave me a message or a comment, and let's discuss it... Friends are always welcome.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Photography, education, camping, fishing, hiking, my hobbies and craftwork, flea markets and antiquing, weekend getaways (especially to the mountains!), my dogs, anything in nature...

a Fall morning in my woods

Just a few scenes from around the house, Fall is slowly making it's way south.   I guess the squirrels or birds were responsible for this millet stalk coming up in the yard, but I let it stay.....

This past weekend was the end of an era for so many people that grew up in the south... the closing of the Myrtle Beach Pavilion. I'm including a number of links to stories about the park and it's clo...
