The "Bro" years - Sharing apt. with two frat brothers right after college. Lot of drinking and partying. Paid internship at a newspaper that paid just enough to keep me in beer and weed.

The Boho years - Both roommates get married, leaving me to find my own spot in Little Five Points. It's the height of Atlanta's neo-soul scene, so I'm hanging out at Yin Yang Cafe, Club Kaya, FunkJazz...etc. Let the locs grow and start working as a freelance graphic artist and PR copywriter.

The DINK (Double Income No Kids) years - Got married, and started working for a trade magazine publisher. The wife and I move across from Piedmont Park and are living the whole ATL Buppie lifestyle.

Now - Suburban dad...PTSA, Scouts, football booster club...etc. Fed job in peer review publishing, married 17 years...pushing 50.
