Patrick Talley is a Gulf Coast kid from Houston, Texas. He has enjoyed a full life as a dad of two great kiddos, a friend and brother to many, a son, and a successful career in the corporate world. He has many passions including music, coffee, great food, writing, outdoor photography, adventure travel, and laughter. Patrick has several mantras by which he lives his life. One is "i sleep so that i may create....i create so that i may sleep". Much of that creative energy has been channeled into outdoor photography as well as writing about and lecturing on parenting. He has written a book on parenting ("Divorced Dads’ Rules For Raising Relatively Stable Kids") which was originally intended as a guidebook for divorced dads but has become a standard read for all parents - male, female, single, divorced, or married. He also has a handful of photobooks available for purchase and seems to put a new one out with frequency. Look for his books and don’t miss his photo website at http: //www.talleyphotography.com.
