Whether you are visiting Nashville for a day or a lifetime,I can humbly show and guide you through every aspect of what this great city has to offer.

Experience in the area

I've written over 1000 articles about Nashville and/or Tennessee, have one published book on the topic, and have had numerous articles and photographs published locally and throughout the world.
Currently I operate and or run several websites and blogs including Nashville.About.com (for the NYT) as well several other local websites. I'm a longtime resident of Nashville and Middle Tennessee, having Tennessee Lineages that date back to the 18th century.
