from a little coal and timber town in Appalachia to a horsey-set southern college town in the Bluegrass to Chelsea in Manhattan, with stints in Savannah, Chile, and Brooklyn- that's been the path. i used to be a piano player, singer, actor, cook, Presbyterian, backpacker, stoner, fraternity brother, sculptor, architect. sometimes i'm still those things, and sometimes i'm a guy who works in publishing sales who comes home and watches his DVR and goes to bed. i love books and movies, often to distraction. i love cooking and eating, often to distraction. i love good sex, well, you get the drift. I'm ready to break out beyond the everyday. if anyone wants to do something adventurous or ambitious or complicated or fun, let me know, i'm into it. Buildings and I were recently on a break, but we're trying to work it out. We love each other.
