About Me:
I love life. It's peaks & it's valleys. I spent most of my childhood in Chico. Originally from Indiana. My parents divorced when I was 5. We landed in Chico in '82. From Jay E. Partridge elementary school to Bidwell Jr. high finally graduating from P.V. high in 1992. I ended up moving away for a spell (about 4-5 years) First stop Portland OR then onto Phx. AZ Yeah, a very drastic change in enviornment. Finally returning home in '98 where I must say "It's nice to be back!" in good 'ole Chico, CA (Although getting away was a must!) I have a beautiful, amazing wife, Katrina. A bright & beautiful baby girl Avery Quinn and the coolest step daughters a guy could ask for. I started a small photography business Alpine Photography in mid-'05. I have since expanded the business into Alpine creative services as of March 2008. We offer amazing web advertising products, logo design, voice overs, music production and more. Life is good for me. I am fortunate to have many amazing, cool, kind & creative friends. I am a proud member of Chico's thriving art community. As a singer/performer & as a photographer. I am currently collaborating with some amazing people to get my new soul/R&B band "Alpine" off the ground. Keep a eye out for us! We're looking to fill the soul/R&B void in this area. Chico is a great place to be. I am blessed. God is good. Frisbee golf, basketball, photography, music & get-aways to the coast with my wife & baby girl are my favorite past times. You can listen to some of my music at myspace.com/alpinesoul or visit our local art community web site @ commonpath.org. You can find me under Alpine Photography or Alpine. My soul finds rest in God alone. It is he who strengthens me. -C.M.W. 2008
