These are some images that have been burned in my mind from a recent trip to the Dominican Republic. Part of my job with Food for the Hungry allows me to take people of influence overseas to the communities that we serve. In this case these people of influence were Jonny Diaz and Logan Martin, two amazing musicians that impact people all over the U.S. The images below are just a few, but some of my most memorable and inspiring…

I’m always honored to have been asked to shoot the monthly boutique spotlight for the DIY Style Blog StellaShops.com. They chose a really cool and eclectic shop in the 12th South district just outside of downtown Nashville, Serendipity. READ POST HERE!

Asheville, NC, a true vacation place and there’s something for the whole family. My wife and I try and visit Asheville, which is just a five hour drive East of us in Nashville, any chance we can.

Twelve years ago yesterday (July 17th) in a little church in San Antonio, TX, I married the love of my life. The little college girl that bought me, yes, bought me for $110 at my fraternity date auction at the frat house in August of 1997. Oh, and also, if you didn’t notice, we shared the same last name even before we were to wed. And no, we aren’t related. Our healthy kiddos have proven that (smiley face). We’ve had…

I’ve recently been asked to do a photo shoot for a great DIY style blog called Stella Shops, and their spotlight on Boutique Bella, here in Nashville. They are a blog that actively gives you daily tips for style, decoration, and just overall deals for those in the surrounding Nashville area. The blog is run by great friends of mine, Carla Antenelli and Mizzie Logan. They are both amazingly driven and creative individuals, and are both multi-talented. Thanks again gals…
