A Little About Joe Watts
I live with my wife Ann, three Burmese cats and one adopted tabby Siamese mix cat in one of the historic neighborhoods of Birmingham, Alabama.
I grew up in the rural Black Belt before moving to Birmingham to attend Birmingham-Southern College. After college, I moved to Auburn for graduate school, but moved back to Birmingham after a year to be with my future wife, Ann Watts.
I've worked in several fields, including a reasonable stint in the publishing industry, working for Southern Progress as a food editor and general writer for several magazines. I've been a non-profit executive director and I've worked for myself as a web developer, graphic designer, writer, tourism consultant, interpretive planner and occasional freelance photographer since 2000.
This website is all about me: my professional life, my personal life, my family life. It is about things I enjoy doing: from working on a birding trail in Alabama to cooking great, locally grown food or taking photos of some of Alabama's most spectacular places.
