Location Abilene, TX, United States
Introduction I am a recent graduate of Abilene Christian University with a Masters in Composition and Rhetoric. I have been happily married for two years now and my wife, Brittany, and I still reside in the historic West Texas frontier town of Abilene. Despite my degree, I am currently pursuing a lifelong dream to be a musician, so I am writing music obsessively (I play guitar) and touring full time with my band Homer Hiccolm & the Rocketboys (www.myspace.com/rocketboys). Life on the road is sporadic and exhausting, but it supplies my endless need for seeing new places and meeting new people. In between life on the road, I am attempting to dabble in freelance writing, online English tutoring, and other entrepreneurial endeavors (mainly so I can tell my Mom I'm utilizing my degree!).
Interests composition & rhetoric, intersections of rhetoric and religion, political theory, ethics of civil discourse, travel stories (both fiction & non-fiction), world literature, writing and performing music for my band Homer Hiccolm & the Rocketboys, pop-culture, being active (running tennis unicycling basketball etc...)
Favorite Movies There Will Be Blood, Moonlight Mile, Lars and the Real Girl
Favorite Music Currently: Andrew Bird, Sufjan Stevens, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, millions more...
