I have learned that there are well more than a handful of people who have similar interests as me. There are innumerable amounts of people who share at least one or two hobbies or ideals. By joining in conversations online I have made several good friends. I’m currently coauthoring a children’s book with an author in Singapore, co-hosting a weekly history based podcast with a veteran in California and moderating a discussion board based on social media and its uses hosted by anchor of a popular morning news show located in New York City.

I write, play guitar and piano and spend as much time with my friends and family as possible. I love to hunt, fish and golf but I don’t get nearly as many opportunities to do any of those things as I’d like. I spend my days playing with my son, writing and scouring the internet for interesting little tidbits to share with my friends.

I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. Within a few years my parents settled in Livingston, Alabama, where I grew up. Livingston is a small town of about 3, 500 people. Everyone knew everyone and they all knew each other’s business. I graduated from Sumter Academy in 1994. My time there was filled with a mixture of ridicule and remorse. God bless the child that makes it through private school without a few scars to show for the battle.

In 2003 I moved to Pensacola, Florida where I currently live, with my wife and son. I graduated from the University of West Alabama with a bachelor of business administration and from the University of West Florida with a master’s in strategic leadership and communication. Currently, I work for Clever Ogre, an advertising agency, in Pensacola. It’s the greatest job I could ask for. All of the things I love doing, writing, using social media, designing… I do those at work, then I come home and do them for fun. I’m on facebook, twitter, YouTube, Skype, formspring, and Instagram. Look me up if you use any of those services.
