You have to play this game with fear and arrogance

About Me

Ok, somebody asked me to write a bit more...so here it goes. I am a photographer and a journalist at the same time. I work at the Wichita Falls newspaper and since August 2004

I graduated from Midwestern State in Dec'04 with a degree in Mass Comm. Before then, I kinda floated around for a few years.

I'm from Fort Worth, and desperately wish I could do what I do back home, but that's probably just not in the cards for me.

I'm not afraid to answer any questions about anything...ever....so if you have one, just shoot.

I love baseball.This is a re-edit of one of my fave. photos of all time.

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

My Interests

Golf, Photography, Guitar Hero, Sports, Baseball, The sport of baseball. The Texas Rangers. Stuff like that.

I'd like to meet:
