There's really not much of a resume here & as such I'm writing this myself. I grew up with four brothers and one sister, without an accent, in the beautiful state of North Carolina. Although I gain tremendous satisfaction from a job well done, my academic grades will tell you that I am an artist at heart. My brothers and sisters & closest friends (all being creative gurus in their own right) influenced me to pick up the guitar at the ripe age of 18. At first, the only songs I knew were the ones I wrote... a new song with every new chord learned. My musical outlets found themselves in leading & singing the occasional group meetings at church events. After meeting more people and collecting a few recording equipment essentials, digital capturing with my limited skills also became a favorite pass time for a while. As of now, I havnt written a new song in quite some time. That statement will be outdated hopefully soon. As for other hobbies and interests that make me come alive... salsa/mambo dancing... this hobby is where most of my time is spent these days... i dance with the Cobo Brothers company (www.cobobrothers.com) & have a great time doing it. Also, I cant live without traveling (its hard for me to stay in this country more than a year), horse-back riding (wish I had more time to do), capturing life through the eye of a lense, running, anything adventuresome like rafting in flooded rivers, jet-skiing, spending time with people... & most importantly, knowing the one true God & the pleasure of living for Him. I still love to sing & record (as soon as my computer's memory is updated). Don't hesitate to ask me to play you a song next time we meet. SYTYCD Lacey and Kameron
