Publications and Clips I've enjoyed writing for Texas Highways; my article on Texas drag racing was published in the March 2008 issue, and I'll have a full PDF copy of it online soon. Here's my first piece for the magazine, about my local donut joint that's been serving 'em up hot since the 1920's: Round Rock Donuts: The Hole Story My second article for the magazine covered a great central Texas honky-tonk, the Old Coupland Inn and Dancehall, where you can eat, sleep and boot-scoot. I never used to pay much attention to sports, but then I found college basketball, and the Madness began. Here's my Gainesville Sun Op-Ed piece about The Dance: My descent into March Madness The British are coming!

Should it be saved from the development wrecking ball if it is? Here are my thoughts about Austin's Las Manitas Avenue Cafe for CHOW magazine: In Tacos Veritas If you are interested in unique cooking vacations around the world, I wrote a short piece about them for CHOW: Pack Your Knives and Go. Here's the video I shot at South by Southwest Interactive's Screen Burn video gaming event, to accompany the Brazen Careerist article about the Frag Dolls. (If you can't see the embedded video box below, here is the direct link to the video on my YouTube channel.) I almost hate to admit how much fun I had researching and writing this piece for Brazen Careerist, a career center for Generation Y. It's about the Frag Dolls, an all-female video gaming team: Alterna-Career Spotlight: Paid to Kick Butt at Video Games As a music buff, it was a pleasure to write a series of concert preview articles for the Gainesville Sun entertainment section, "Scene Magazine."

In the June 2006 issue of Gainesville Magazine, I wrote a personal essay about my mid-life career change from seagoing Navy officer to freelance writer.
