About Me

I was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama. Final resting place of Hank Williams. I've spent last 10+ years in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm a creative person by nature. Music, photography, writing are my passions. I've been taking pictures and playing music nearly all my life. The creative process is a wonder, especially when something comes out like you see it or hear it in your mind. Nature is a real inspiration. I try to spend as much time outside as possible. And, you're just as likely to find me in the pit at a rock show. In fact, I would love to see the band who's video is below. Check it out:

Fast Food

I admit it. I'm a big fan of fast food. I know it's not good for you... blah, blah, blah. I can't help it. When I stick my nose in a bag of fresh cheese Krystals, steaming hot, it's intoxicating. My f...
