Private Practice Counselor, Therapist, and Writer in Huntsville, AL
I grew up in Virginia's Blue Ridge foothills. Childhood fostered appreciation of nature and unhurried ways of life.
As a young man, I lived in the orient, widening my appreciation of spiritual and cultural variety.
I tell stories that celebrate human creativity and interaction with the natural world. The assignments I have enjoyed most introduced readers to untamed spots of the American Southeast and Gulf Coast.
I have filed stories for Blue Ridge magazine, the Huntsville Times, the Decatur Daily, Mobile Bay magazine, and Outdoor Alabama.
I live in Northern Alabama. I get my nature fix exploring the bays, rivers, and wetlands of Alabama and adjoining states.
Before 2020 is over, I will embark on a coast-to-coast adventure to explore my country and blog about interesting people, places, and things.
