I ended up moving away for a spell (about 6-7 years) First stop Portland OR then onto Phx. AZ Yeah, a very drastic change in enviornment. Finally returning home in '98 where I must say "It's nice to be back!" in good 'ole Chico, CA
I have a beautiful, amazing wife, Katrina. A bright & beautiful baby girl Avery Quinn and the coolest step daughters a guy could ask for. I started a small photography business Alpine Photography in mid-'05.
Life is good for me. I am fortunate to have many amazing, cool, kind & creative friends. I am a proud member of Chico's thriving art community. As a singer/performer & as a photographer. Chico is a great place to be. I am blessed. God is good.
Frisbee golf, basketball, music & get-aways to the coast with my wife & baby girl are my favorite past times. You can listen to some of my music at myspace.com/alpinesoul
