A now sane individual who escaped the world of selling technology, now living in the rolling hills of the North Carolina Piedmont. I have been at one time or another, a farmer, a director for Apple, and a vice president at Wideopen Networks. I continue to pursue my love of photography and writing. I have great memories of boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, and hiking the beaches along North Carolina's Southern Outer Banks where we lived for fifteen years.

An Irresistible Beach

The Point at Emerald Isle is one of my favorite beaches.  With a little hiking you can explore one of the great natural treasures of North Carolina’s coast.  When you leave it, you do so with the knowledge that it will be different the next time you visit.  Even though sand seems to stretch endlessly to the horizon there now, in November 2007, the sands of the Point disappeared only to reappear a year later.  Click the picture or the link for more details, pictures, and a map.  http://ow.ly/v74jW

Curious as to how North Carolina has changed?

There is more to all the changes in North Carolina than just the transition from tobacco fields to cities.

There have been huge changes over the last 50+ years, and  one well traveled native presents his thoughts in a short book.  Click the link or the picture to explore the book  http://ow.ly/u8F10
