CURRENT MISSION

Get to know New Orleans from Riverbend to Lakeside

ABOUT ME

I'm of average height, above average resourcefulness, and below average patience. I walk anywhere and everywhere possible. Currently, there are about 7 projects I am working on, about 3 of which I will actually see through to the end. I consider myself a pretty good cook, but I've been known to concoct a disaster or two in the kitchen. I enjoy the outdoors, ice cream, good beer, and discovering new places to find such beer.

My wife Katie and I actually live in two cities, Austin and New Orleans. It means we have to spend part of our week apart, but on the bright side, we get to live in two of the best cities in the country.

PHILOSOPHY

"For business reasons, I must preserve the outward signs of sanity." — Mark Twain

Interests

The Great Outdoors! Getting lost in wild locations and meeting up exotic animals and people

I also love to write, and am trying to start up a blog about different dive bars in New Orleans. If anyone has any interest in checking out a new dive bar, I would love the company.
