My wife Rachel and I, along with our two children Ivy (3) and Julian (1) live in Houston, TX. We run a historic window restoration company called Plum Alley. I'm also a photographer and I'm currently pursuing my MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography from University of the Arts London. We love cultural events, art, music, and anything to keep our kids entertained (of course).
