About me:
I am a writer and wandering artist who grew up in and around New York City. I’ve spent the last five years bouncing around the world, living in Buffalo, London, Florence, Dallas, Los Angeles, and back to Dallas again. Living in the south has taught me two indispensable things: one, anyone born a yankee stays a yankee for life; and two, the proper southern pronunciation of ‘shut the hell up’ is ‘bless your heart’.
I met my beautiful wife-to-be, Chris, two years ago in Dallas (her hometown). I had just returned from a long trip abroad, and was exhausted and completely broke, but a mutual friend dragged me out to a bar anyway, insisting I would have fun. Chris had a pile of books at the end of the bar table, and I’ll be the first to admit that I noticed the books first, and the girl second. When I put the two together… it was love at first sight. We fell headfirst into a whirlwind romance. Two months later we flew to Jamaica for a vacation, and four months after that we packed up our lives and headed west for the sun and sparkle of Los Angeles. Our wedding ceremony will be on the three-year anniversary of the day we met.
When I’m not wedding planning, most of my energy is focused on job-hunting, expanding my cooking repertoire, planning a vegetable garden for the spring, and trying to remember to update my blog. It’s been rumored that I’m working on my first novel, but my imagination and discipline don’t always see eye to eye on that. Negotiations look hopeful.
