I was born on a hill in New Hope, Georgia and left in the 1990s to live on Ponce de Leon Avenue in an old factory in Atlanta. Once I had my fill, I moved to an 1800s Victorian mansion in Louisville, Old Louisville to be more precise. I had no plans of returning to Georgia, but circumstances called me back. I returned to Atlanta and as I once told a friend, I was afraid that if I did move back to Atlanta that it would snare me and I never would leave. It held me until 2021 and now I'm somewhere over a river, through some woods and atop a hill.
My hobbies are hiking, reading, photography, chess, gardening and travel. I am an avid music listener and enjoy many genres from rock to classical and jazz. My favorite rock band is R.E.M. and my favorite classical composer is Erik Satie.
I spent a significant part of my adult life in
radio and television broadcasting. I worked locally and at the
network level. I appeared on radio stations from New York to LA. I am
no longer behind a microphone and at times I do miss it. Someone once
said to me that radio was a disease that gets in your blood and
it never leaves you, I agree.
I have a serious addiction to
coffee and like to sample the local coffee shops when I travel. Old
cemeteries are also places I like to wander through. I am happy in
the middle of the wilderness, a beach or in a city center - just
allow me some quiet time to relax.
