My career is in making films and television. I travel now- and have always traveled- frequently, and am curious about people, culture, history, nature, and the world in general. My parents are both Texans (Austinites). Mother's side stems back to S.F. Austin's first colony in TX, and prior to that - the early Jamestown settlers in the USA. My Father's mom was a 'war bride' from Australia; his dad an American sailor from Arkansas. They eventually settled in Austin before Dad was born. Dad was a Naval officer, stationed mostly overseas during the Cold War.
