Things I enjoy
The other side of that "stream" behind me is Mexico. And that stream is actually the Rio Grande River.
A friend of mine and I had always talked about visiting Big Bend National Park and finally did it in 2014. More about my interests and activities are on the Downtime page.
Causes I support
How to find me in the photo above: I'm the only person wearing a cap.
I was at the Martha O'Bryan Center to help with United Way of Metropolitan Nashville's Sort-A-Thon. With money or time, I try to assist the organizations that have really struck a chord with me at some point in my life.
