About Me

Hey, stranger! Thanks for stopping in. I assume you came for the pretty pictures. But since you made it this far, I may as well tell you a little about myself.  

I'm from a sleepy little city called Decatur, IL. Doesn't ring a bell? I'll paint a picture. Hop on Spotify or the music streaming app of your choosing. Type in JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP. Play any song you wish from his impressive list of greatest hits. Listen to those sweet soulful hymns of the heartland and let them wash over you. That's it! You just relived the first 18 years of my life.

Since then I’ve abandoned my bucolic upbringing to travel the country collaborating with people far more talented than myself. For the past 13+ years, I’ve lived in five different cities and 12 addresses accompanied by the world’s greatest traveling companion, Tommy, the hairless dog. He was a road warrior, a great dane in his own mind, a lover of sunbathing, blueberries and I’m convinced, at least 50% of the reason my wife decided to marry me. His incredible journey recently came to an end so I guess you could say my spirit animal is now a spirit animal.

In my free time you can find me traveling with my wife, perfecting the art of low country cooking, doodling and occasionally authoring a few amusing observations of the human condition.

But let’s be honest, by now you’re probably two albums deep into the Mellencamp collection and by God, who could blame you? But if not, let’s chat.
