I am a graduate of the University of Tennesse and live in Knoxville Tennessee curently. I have 20 years experience in drafting and designing, primarily in landscape design and commercial presentations. I have always been a creative writer, dating back to my early childhood. As I have matured, I find myself writting more and more. I have two blogs that I keep updated regularly (dizzyonatightrope.wordpress.com and disciplegideon.wordpress.com) and am always open to new ideas and challenges. My degree is in Landscape Design, but I still do all of my work by hand. Some of my work can be seen on my company website (blueherondesigngrp.com).

I'm really creative and great writing skills. When it comes to music or writing I have a strong natural feeling for it and would like to make a living out of it. I'm still very young and barely out of school but have accomplished a lot. I myself have had an singing career and been part of competitions where I have written and composed my own songs. Writing is my strongest field and I can deliver if somebody wants me to write their music. I am also a great designer and have designed logo's for people that needed me to. mostly designs for shirts or book covers
