Song that best describes you: "Streets of Tomorrow" by Carla Vallet.

On a Saturday night, you are usually: If it's not football season (Roll Tide Roll), I am usually playing guitar or watching classic movies.

Favorite event in Charleston: The Art Walks.

Talents/Hobbies: I've played guitar most of my life. Learned from my dad when I was a kid, and now can never put it down for too long. Music is my family's pastime.

Music you're listening to right now: Diana Krall, "The Girl in the Other Room."

Best thing about Charleston: The lure. Even after living here all my life, a simple picture taken downtown or at one of the beaches renews my relationship with this city.

Worst thing about Charleston: Despite what we hear, Charleston's supportive business environment is not always easy to walk into. Finding support is challenging for the new, exciting ventures with strong potential for job development. Investors would be nice to have, and of course, we welcome them (http://corp.campusrhythm.com/invest).

Favorite book: From a local author and good friend: "Return From a Comatose Mind" by Jason Deierlein.

How would your friends describe you in one word?: Insane.

How would you describe yourself in one word?: Insane.

Biggest accomplishment: Although it is still very early, Campus Rhythm is something that I am very proud of. From idea conception (nearly 6 years ago) to the 18 months of development and self-funding, the other partners and the entire team have fully devoted their time and energy, developing the website and preparing for launch.

We've had a lot of setbacks and broken promises, but we fought through each time and now have an exciting website for college students.

Things you do in your spare time: Spare time has been scarce lately, and it's been a while, but golfing. In a perfect world, I would spend more time out there. I'm no Phil, trust me, but I enjoy the time spent on the links.
