Growing up in the Florida Panhandle, Jimmy Buffett was my first favorite storyteller. Listening to his music in the truck on the way to and from my dad’s beach shack every weekend is very likely where my love for story was born.
In my downtime, you’ll find me in water—be it lake, ocean, pool or quarry—or in the garden.
