BIRTHDATE: 4-11-87

BIRTHPLACE: Memphis, TN

AMBITIONS: 1. Have my kids like me as much as I like my parents. 2. Have kids.

5 THINGS EVERY MAN SHOULD OWN: A good skillet, an inspiring pen, at least two clean(ish) yellow notepads, mode of transport besides a car, his mistakes.

THINGS I LOVE THE MOST: My long board, Bowling Green, Kentucky.

I WROTE THIS SONG: …holed up in a Florida beach house. The melody and lyrics came at the same time, not always the case. We won’t get over the passage of time and the ever searching heart. It’s ok we still write about it. We must! And we must hear others do the same.
