And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown

About Me

I grew up on a farm in central Illinois. My family is amazing, one of the best and I miss them all the time. I am living in Seattle working as a chef. It's pretty rad. I have an amazing girl, Chelsea who just gave me the best gift of life: Our little girl Judith Irene Beery. Little Jude is the most beautiful thing I have found in life. I play guitar and write/record my own music. Music is my savior. I love photography, cooking, reading (when I have time), camping, and coffee. Life is good...
