Me
All that being said, I am more than my work, as any reader of my site would know. I grew up here in New Orleans, but spent my 20’s in Milwaukee pursuing my dream girl (who’d left NOLA in ‘91) and starting a career and a family. We moved back to New Orleans in 2007 to escape the doldrums of the cold weather and apply some of my successes in a city that is hard to get your footing in, but very interesting indeed once you manage to get established.
I’ve been happily married for 10 years and have 3 kids. I don’t have a lot of leisure time, except what I get at the expense of my wife, but I spend my free time working on music, paiting, feeding my newts, fiddling with my iphone for more time than is healthy, reading stupid stupid articles and news of the world in my RSS reader, and attempting to do 3 laps around Audubon Park on my bike at least 3 nights a week.
I wear size 11 Converse All-Stars and can likely beat you at Scrabble via Facebook.
I welcome corresponce and sometimes say things on Twitter.
