While living in Fayetteville, I was a cartoonist for the Grapevine, I won the United States Taekwondo Federation national championship in free fighting, and played drums in a punk band, blues band, and a country western band. I've also participated in plays at the University of Arkansas and Ozark Stage Works. I've had my art displayed at Arsaga's, Walton Art Center, Arkansas State Capitol, and Gallery 111. I've also produced a short film which was accepted and shown at the Fayetteville Film Festival, the Fayetteville Underground Film Festival, and the Little Rock Film Festival. I currently write Slam Poetry, ride my motorcycle, and read a lot of good books:

Thompson; Generation X; Candide; anything by George McDonald Fraser or Steinback or Chabon, or LeCarre, Douglas Adams, Terry Prachett, Tom Robbins, Vonnegut, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Marge Atwood, Annie Proulix, Gegory McGuire, John Gardner, Anthony Burgess, Henry Miller, Mary Karr; Robert E Howard; Phillip K.
