About me:

Shores I produce and direct documentary films. I research the topics and write scripts, work with camera crews to shoot the stories, and then spend lots of time in a room by myself editing. I've had the good fortune of finding some interesting people with fascinating stories and most of my work through the years has been featured on Alabama Public Television.

Cigar Box Guitars My documentary about cigar box guitars, Songs Inside The Box was broadcast on Alabama Public Television in April. Most of it was shot at the Cigar Box Guitar Extravaganza in Huntsville, Alabama, an annual event that brings cigar box guitar hobbyists and professional musicians together.


Barbecue Holy Smoke over Birmingham is a mouth watering documentary I did about Birmingham, Alabama barbecue restaurants. It was broadcast on Alabama Public Television several times and was featured in the New York City Food Film Festival in June 2008 where 750 New Yorkers gathered at Water Taxi Beach to eat barbecue and watch the film.



Richard Johnston Richard Johnston: Hill Country Troubadour is my documentary about the Memphis street musician and one-man-band, Richard Johnston. It has been featured at several film festivals and has won five awards.


Insomniactive In Scrambled Films we follow three teams participating in the Sidewalk Scramble, a 48 hour film competition conducted by the folks at the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival in Birmingham, Alabama. All three teams completed award winning short films in a weekend and you get to see how in this documentary.


Up from the Ashes Up from the Ashes: The Rebirth of Phenix City is my documentary about an Alabama city that had a reputation for being "the wickedest city in America" until the National Guard crushed a crime syndicate there in 1954. The documentary was nominated for an Emmy Award.



The Amazing Story of Kudzu Several years ago I did a documentary on kudzu, a vine that grows widely in the southeastern US. The Amazing Story of Kudzu was distributed to public TV stations nationwide and I guess I'll never live that one down!



I love blues music and enjoy taking pictures at concerts.


T-Model Ford Willie King Hubert Sumlin Robert Belfour

I created a couple of websites to help people find information about the city and state in which I live:

Tuscaloosa Web Alabama Info

I maintain the website for my church and I mix the sound for the contemporary worship service at Forest lake United Methodist Church on most Sundays.



My wonderful wife, Cindy and I have three beautiful daughters: Katie, Mary, and Myra.

Who I'd like to meet:

Filmmakers, musicians, and just about anybody with a good story to tell.

    Happy Easter Pictures, Images and Photos

    Easter Joy

    Jesus came to earth,
    To show us how to live,
    How to put others first,
    How to love and how to give.

    Then He set about His work,
    That God sent Him to do;
    He took our punishment on Himself;
    He made us clean and new.

    He could have saved Himself,
    Calling angels from above,
    But He chose to pay our price for sin;
    He paid it out of love.

    Our Lord died on Good Friday,
    But the cross did not destroy
    His resurrection on Easter morn
    That fills our hearts with joy.

    Now we know our earthly death,
    Like His, is just a rest.

    We'll be forever with Him
    In heaven, where life is best.

    So we live our lives for Jesus,
    Think of Him in all we do.

    Thank you Savior; Thank you Lord.

    Help us love like you!
