Husband, Writer, Actor, Photographer, etc, so on, so forth… I’m interested in the arts, the ways in which people express the art that lives in them, and the ways we interact with the creative world. I like to explore these themes weekly through blogs and through photography. I also have a theatre company called “From The Branch”. When I’m not messing around on my blog I’m usually touring.
My wife Courtney and I are getting ready to be parents but we already have a 78 pound, 11 year old, crotchety yellow lab and she acts like a child most days. We kick around in Dallas, TX when we’re not on the road with From The Branch or The Revolve Tour (Courtney’s the Emcee). All in all I’d say we’ve got a pretty good thing going. As far as hobbies are concerned, I’m definitely a book worm. Some of my favorites are: ‘Perelandra’, ‘A Tale Of Two Cities’, and ‘The Fountainhead’. Check em out if you haven’t…or get the books on tape so that should one of these glorious titles come up in conversation, on a date for example, you can impress your date with knowledge of Literature.
I also love:
Music – Ryan Adams “Ashes And Fire” is SO HOT right now
Photography – I have two things to say… 1) Robert Frank 2) His London Series
Wine – 2005 Moon Mountain Single Lot Cab Franc is my favorite bottle of all time! If you see one floating around, grab it for me. I’ll pay you back.
Whisky – Balvenie 21yr Old Single Malt…No explanation required.
My LSU Tigers!!
That’s pretty much me. If I can think of anything else I’ll add it. But honestly, I’m just trying to think of cool stuff to say to make you think I’m creative and cultured so that when you read my blog you’ll go, “I want to be like that. He seems like a nice person, but also a person who is intelligent, a person with ideas and stories that I will relate to. I think I will email him and ask his opinion on various topics.”
