I was born in North Carolina but am a product of the desert southwest with its vast, panoramic landscapes where spires of weathered stone cast long shadows under cloudless skies. For more than forty years I have explored its hidden places, hungered for its colorful history, and sought the road less traveled across the stark plains.
These adventures and a fascination for the history of the formative years of the American automobile industry, and the resultant societal evolution, are the foundational elements of my published work. This includes a position as associate editor with Cars & Parts magazine and a monthly column, The Independent Thinker, and more than one thousand feature articles for various magazines and newspapers.
Additionally, I have written six books that reflect these interests and chronicle my adventures: Checker Cab Manufacturing Company Illustrated History, The Big Book of Car Culture, Backroads of Arizona, Route 66 Backroads, Ghost Towns of the Southwest, and Ghost Towns of Route 66. The current project is a Route 66 encyclopedia and atlas.
My wife and I are also photographers with a lengthy and colorful resume of work appearing in magazines and books, on corporate websites, and in a wide array of promotional material. Our fine art prints are currently featured and sold at the Lile Art Gallery in Amarillo, Texas.
Prints of photos appearing on our blog,
Route 66 Chronicles, or in our books, as well as signed copies of our books, are available through direct order.
