Many of you know I work for a non-profit called City Leadership on a project called Choose901. I wanted to share a campaign we’re doing right now called “Give a Gift to Memphis.” No we’re not asking for money… just check out the post below: This time of year is the season of giving. We […]

I’m really proud of my wife and her new collection of Holiday cards and gift tags! She was recently featured on StyleBlueprint (read more about her collection there). If you’re hoping to send out the best Christmas card ever, check out all her designs and order yours at The Stovall Collection in the Laurelwood shopping center

My friend, Myla Smith, recently asked me to create a music video for her latest single, “Slow Down.” Check out the result above. This song is from her EP, Drugs, which was released October 16. Listen closely; I think the message of her song makes a nice follow-up to my last blog post.
I recently got to spend a week and half traveling with my wife in Italy. We were celebrating our 5th anniversary by doing something we’ve always dreamed of doing. It was incredible. Our favorite part was our 3 nights in Riomaggiore (one of 5 small towns along the Ligurian coast collectively known as the Cinque

Sometimes there’s a very blurry line between my hobbies, my interests, and what I get paid to do. I have a handful of hobbies and interests that don’t contribute directly to my bottom line, but I consider them to be just as important as what I do for a living. Even the various things I

Twenty new songs from one of my favorite artists, Beck. No CD, no digital download, in fact there’s no recording at all; it’s being released only as sheet music. Now, if I’m speaking as a music listener, this concept seems a little frustrating. It’s been 4 years since his last album, and I’m ready to
Last week my washing machine broke. Again. About six months ago, I paid a guy to come fix it, so I wasn’t really keen on paying again so soon. Now, I’ve always had a DIY attitude. I roast my own coffee, repair my own mics and mic cables, I’ve built my own guitar amp, I

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the value of quiet in my daily (or at least weekly) routine. I often brag that I’ve never had cable since becoming an adult, as if it means I have better things to do with my time. But the truth is over the last few years, my free
I’m trying to do a better job about updating this blog with what I’ve been doing, and since January a big part of what I’ve been doing has to do with www.choose901.com. It’s an effort to recruit more talented young people to the city of Memphis for the benefit of the city. The more young
City Leadership (the non-profit I work for) recently launched a new project called Tonic Media Lab, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this! The idea is to do week-long media labs to help brand (or re-brand) non-profits and churches in the Memphis area. We actually did our own branding, including
This video has really got me thinking about what it means to be a creator – why we create, what we’re doing when we create, how dangerous it is to be a passive audience. This video (particularly the part starting around 1:40) raised some thoughts in my mind about the ethics of creativity. I want
