I'm a 48-year-old writer, editor, ex-musician, dreamer, reality catcher, ex-con, husband and father.
I have three kids, six tattoos, a criminal record, a terminal disease, and an attitude.
I was born in Alabama and spent the first 38 years of my life there and in Mississippi. In the 1970s and 1980s, I was a drummer in various hard rock bar bands in Alabama and Mississippi.
Since 1985, I've worked for newspapers, ad agencies and magazines. I've also taken inventory, indulged in independent entrepreneurship, run a newspaper route and served time.
I've been on the West Coast, L.A. or Seattle, since 1999.
