I'm a graduate of the University of Mobile and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. After Hurricane Katrina I moved back to Mobile, Alabama for nine months, but returned to the Crescent City in June 2006. Two years to the day after that, I left New Orleans for an eleven month detox in Fort Worth, [Republic of] Texas. Now I'm back in Mobile.
I love to travel and I rarely leave home without my Canon EOS 40D. I've been to 35 states, 3 provinces, and a few countries. While living in Fort Worth I realized that being within short driving distance of a large body of salt water is important to me.

Two years ago I packed up a few of my things and drove to my parents’ home in Mobile, Alabama. At the time, New Orleans had issued a voluntary evacuation; NOBTS issued a mandatory evacuation. Two days later, Hurricane Katrina pushed onshore as a category 3 hurricane. It was something I’d been...
In August 2004, I moved to New Orleans to attend seminary. In August 2005, I left thinking I’d be back in a few days. It took nine months. June 1, 2006, actually, was the day I moved back. The first day of hurricane season. It’s been a year now. ...
After Katrina, NOBTS experimented with online classes via something called a Threaded Discussion System (TDS). Basically, our classes were self-guided, with online discussion that was led by our professors. The majority of our information was sent to in PowerPoint files loaded on Blackboard, and that’s where our discussion took place as well. Some liked it,...
