I’ve been writing online for over ten years and, although I don’t understand it and am a bit embarrassed by it, I enjoy doing so. When I’m not in New York, Austin and Fort Worth, I travel across the country, and around the world, 2-3 months out of the year taking photos along the way. My interests allow me to say that I am a photographer, web nerd, cyclist, backpacker, traveler, and writer.

After spending six months in New York, I am back working for The University of Texas System in Austin, TX.

I hope to move back to New York in the fall.

The photo used on the front page of this site is of the Sydney Harbor Bridge taken in 2008. The photo used on the secondary pages of this site are of the Llano River in Llano, Texas.

Odd little facts about me

I have driven the entire length of US Interstate 10.

I have driven all of I-35 from Duluth, MN to San Antonio, TX.

Flying absolutely terrifies me

I flew 18 times in 2008.

4 of those flights were over 11 hours.

1 of those flights was over 14 hours.

In all, total around 80 hours of flying time while sitting in a state of panic.
