What countries do you want to visit?
Australia is high on my bucket list. Antarctica would be great and Iceland too. Somewhere warm like French Polynesia. A few I would love to see. There are certainly many more.

How do you want to retire?
Enough money to travel and plenty of days spent by the beach. Perfect retirement.
What is your favorite season of year? Why?
Love the warm days of spring and the changing of the leaves in fall. Plus in N.C. the fall is still warm but not so hot you can’t enjoy being outside. Summer is third but by August I am ready for the heat to subside. And Winter is a distant fourth. Just don’t like cold weather.
Describe your dream chocolate bar.
White or Milk Chocolate and preferably not mixed with anything.
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.
I write and create content for YouTube and my Podcast. That helps to give me not only joy but an outlet that keeps me focused on a goal. Nice to have when the days are tough.
Have you ever broken a bone?
Yep.
Twice.
Broke a finger and my left wrist back when I was a kid. Had a cast on my arm each time.
What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?
Jimmy Buffett concert shirt from 1995. Held up great through the years.
Are you a leader or a follower?
Kind of both but most days I have to be a leader because I am a stay-at-home dad and I run the day to day routine.
What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?
A fisherman on that Deadliest Catch show because that’s about how long I would last – a day. But I would love to try it.
What gives you direction in life?
My family. They help me steer my way through my days. Creativity is another thing that gives me focus and direction.
A few times. It’s not anything I love to do, but when I get the chance to go I go.
When do you feel most productive?
Mornings are the best time for me and sometimes, usually after a good nap, I can be productive in the afternoon. At night, I am a human slug.
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.
Starting a Podcast in 2020, Song Lines and Tan Lines, and now it’s at 219 episodes. I have enjoyed working on it. Still do.
Heat through the cool vents
Warms the dark chilly bedroom
Spring takes a small pause
I was going to go with traffic, but that doesn’t get me all that much unless I am on a two lane road or in heavy traffic or if my kids are with me. What does make me nervous is the political climate these days and how nobody can find a common ground. It seems like Democrats and Republicans have always had issues, but it seems like now it’s all or nothing. Either you agree or disagree and there is no middle ground. It makes me nervous and anxious for the future we are creating for our kids. And I lean one way politically most of the time, but I think both sides are equally at fault. Just wish they’d find a way to get it mostly together.
How do you unwind after a demanding day?
I listen to music or a podcast or watch something like a movie. Sometimes I take a walk.
I try to read before going to bed – helps the mind to relax.
Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.
Beer.
I don’t know why this popped into my head. I don’t and can’t drink beer anymore but I do sometimes miss it.
What is your favorite restaurant?
Papa Murphys or Chik Fil A – don’t eat in restaurants much these days. There’s also a great Thai place near my house too.
