About EAD, LLC

Fascinated by the exploding field of internet communications, for over twenty years I've experimented with video, writing, blogging and photography as a means to build healthier communities.  

One of my early blogs, "Katrina Patina," became the basis for a book, Under Surge, Under Siege, the Odyssey of Bay St. Louis and Katrina.  While it covers the 2005 hurricane and three years of aftermath, Under Surge documents how a community under incredible duress can support the individual. That theme continues to fuel most of my work.

In 2011, I became founding publisher of The Shoofly Magazine, a digital weekly covering lifestyle on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It soon became a community mainstay with 20k+ readers each month and a powerful social media presence. In 2019, I launched its sister publication,  French Quarter Journal, with the mission of documenting creatives and culture in the quirky community where I came of age and lived for decades. 

After attending school part-time for six years, I graduated with an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of New Orleans in 2021.  In early 2022, I sold the Shoofly to focus more fully on French Quarter Journal and to complete  a memoir about my life as a Quarter street musician in the late '70s. 

I'm available for consultations and presentations on the impacts of digital publications as community-building projects. Inquire here.
