ABOUT ME

I'm an optimist who is always searching for adventure. I love people from the inside out and love nothing more than story told by a new face. The outdoors is where I belong. I am a writer/photographer as well as a music enthusiast. I was born and raised in Texas and hate nothing more than for people to immediately associate cowboys and ignorance with people from Texas. All I ask is for everyone to give Austin a chance...you may never want to leave.

PHILOSOPHY

"I first learned to travel. Now I travel to learn."
-William Least Heat-Moon-

"A cultivated mind finds sources of inexhaustible interest in all that surrounds it; in the objects of nature, the achievements of art, the imaginations of poetry, the incidents of history, the ways of mankind, past and present, and their prospects in the future. It is possible, indeed, to become indifferent to all this, and that too without having exhausted a thousandth part of it; but only when one has had from the beginning no moral or human interest in these things, and has sought in them only the gratification of curiosity."
-J.S. Mill-

"Opinion is politics, and politics is an evil which has caused many a fellow to be hung while he's still young and pretty." -SK-
