About Me

I'm a metro-southern boy. I grew up by the mountains of East Tennessee talking politics with my dad. I had just turned 18 in 1984 when my grandmother (on mom's side) took us to the Republican Convention in Dallas & the renomination of Ronald Reagan for President. From an early age my passions have been art, laughter, family, service, politics, & later faith as I went off to college & was drawn to make it my own.

Always a great talker (my teachers will attest), it wasn't until using a modern word processor at college that I discovered my talent for gab & my artistic creativity could be combined to paint with the written word. My fascination & value of words and communication has increased ever since.

I grew up to become a Rock-N-Roll Republican with a great respect for civility, debate & the political process as well as the values & ends. I have served on the Tennessee & National Board of Directors for the Young Republicans. I've worked on many campaigns & attended the Republican National Convention (NYC) as a Tennessee Volunteer.

I'm: single, a graphic & fine artist, a conservative political operative, amazed by grace, thoughtful, and glad you are here.
