I’ve traveled to forty seven states and practically as many countries, and I’m still counting up. I’m now a traveler, hiker, bicycle owner, blogger, advertising consultant, neighborhood volunteer and native highschool band nerd who previously has lived in Florida, Ohio, Indiana and Mississippi. I’m a South Louisiana-born French Cajun whose great-grandparents have been sugar farmers, bar house owners and reputed bootleggers. My upbringing in food-rich Louisiana and my restaurant business profession affirmed my standing as an over-qualified eater.
