I've been a resident of New Mexico most of my life and am a graduate of Las Cruces High School and went to college at New Mexico State University. Later, I received my Master's in Nonfiction Writing from The Johns Hopkins University.  I enjoy writing and history. These interests, coupled with a love of driving backroads, provide inspiration for this homepage.

In this photo, I'm standing in front of the house used in the title graphic and other places throughout this homepage. The house is in Madrid.

By the way, if you'd like to offer commentary on this homepage, or share your backroads experiences with me, please do. I'm at nmplaces@aol.com.
