Jamie Howton

I was born in England and moved throughout England and India before settling in the US in the early 1980s. I have had life-long interests in writing and photography and later in life have become interested in playing guitar, synthesizers, samplers, drum machines and modular synthesizers. I dropped out of college to help someone else manage their business, then bought it from them, sold it, bought it again with different partners and ran it as (insert title of every operations position) and was President for 11 years. So what do I do, well now - trying to be happy is what I "do". I live in the mountains of Western North Carolina, I play music at every opportunity and try to help everyone I meet in some small way. I co-own and help run a bottleshop (http://www.local604avl.com) in West Asheville, NC.

I am grateful for every footstep in this thing we call life.
