What do I say about me? Well, I love music, reading, dogs, traveling, mythology and coffee. I love all sorts of music and have lost track of all the concerts I've been to. In fact, as I'm writing this, I've just gotten back from seeing my favorite singer and songwriter in concert. I'm also a giant geek. It's the golden age of TV and film for me, so I've told all the streaming services to "shut up and take my money!" with adaptations of the "Wheel of Time", "The Expanse", and "Umbrella Academy" on my watchlist and all the "Star Trek" I could ever ask for.

Experiencing A Rare Sight In Southern Utah
Last weekend I went with a friend to check out Gunlock Falls. I was curious as I had never been to Gunlock State Park before and my friend had not been there for a long time. Just outside St. George, Gunlock State Park was established in 1970 and is home to boating, fishing, camping, swimming, and occasionally waterfalls. The falls are a phenome...

There’s Something Unusual About Cedar City
There’s something unusual about Cedar City and if you’re from Cedar or have lived here long enough, you probably don’t even notice it anymore. You might be thinking about the sheep parade or even how quickly Cedar is growing. But those aren’t the things I’m...
Utah’s Oldest Town
If you’ve lived in Utah your entire life like I have, you probably think you know everything there is to know about Utah. It’s located on the lands of five indigenous tribes the Utes, Navajo, Paiute, Goshute, and Shoshone, it has the Salt Flats, many national parks, and a sometimes-smelly lake called the Great Salt Lake.

A Celebration Of A Cedar City Institution
It’s a snowy and frigid night when members of the Cedar City community gather to celebrate the 30-year birthday of Groovacious, the independently owned and operated record store in Cedar City. The weather may have been cold but the interior of the record store is filled with warmth, both from the store absolutely being packed with people and the love of all those people packing the store and I’m g
Spooky Southern Utah University
It’s 11pm on a Saturday night in October when a crowd gathers in front of Old Main on the Southern Utah University campus. There’s a table set up with hot chocolate and cider, while music plays from the speakers set up in front of Old Main as the crowd starts to get ready for tonight’s event. Normally, campus woul...
Tis The Season For Horror
The time of year is upon us for flannel, pumpkin spice lattes, and of course, scary stories. As I sit here at my desk snuggled up in my hoodie and sipping on my latte while listening to a narrator tell me about djinn, I started to wonder just how long we’ve been telling each other scary stories.
