Know Me
My momma gave birth to me on Thanksgiving Day of nineteen and eighty-six in Birmingham, Alabama while director John Ford’s “My Darling Clementine” was airing on one of the maternity ward’s television sets. According to my father, moments after the birth, he and I smoked celebratory cigars during the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
Since the birthing, I have learned to speak English, chew solid food, and walk upright. These skills have allowed me to perform music across North America, operate a small landscaping business, and develop a technical writing company called The Electric Village.
Central Florida has been my home for twelve years, not including a 14-month long hiatus in Nashville, Tennessee. I’ve spent the past few years of my life performing with a variety of music groups throughout the Southeast. In more recent months, the focus of my life has been to nurture my fledgling writing company and revisit my formal education. I am a high school dropout.
