I'm a Software Developer with a global company and a part time artist and writer. I love researching, writing articles and helping people in some way. I read and write in a variety of subjects. I'm from North Louisiana and am obssessed with good food and cooking like many from that state. The regional cuisine draws from so many good sources: Cajun, Southern Cooking and TexMex among a few.

My online Zazzle Store is a fun project along with my newest one, http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/Rickmac.
