Biographical Information:
____________I was born in Grenada, MS in 1976 to Mike and Barbara Latham. I lived in Texas for three years as a child and returned to Mississippi, where I attended Grenada Public School until the 9th grade when my family moved to Cleveland, MS. I attended Cleveland High School and was a member of the CHS Band as well as other student organizations. I was a very active member of First Baptist Church of Cleveland and participated in the youth group, “Servant Heart” vocal ensemble, and the FBC Media Ministry. I attended Delta State University and was employed as full time university staff before graduating in 2004 with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Art Education. I have taught for two years in the public schools of Mississippi and Tennessee.____________I am 31 year old and a published writer, photographer, artist, musician, educator, and all around jack of all trades. I am a liberal minded patriot, a hedonist, and I'm famous for my sense of humor. I enjoy the bohemian side of life and have a passion for beauty, imagination, and the creative spirit. I am an experienced gamer with a wide variety of platforms, settings, and systems within my repertoire. In the future I'd like to pursue a masters and phD, teach at a small university and possibly relocate and explore avenues which are, as of yet, unknown.
Personal Philosophy:
I believe that success in life is measured by the types of relationships we establish and maintain, the degree to which we improve the quality of life for everyone around us, and the legacies we leave behind us as we journey to our ultimate reward.
