Steven Uhles

• Interests: Film, art, music, literature and other assorted examples of the creative impulse.
• Activities: Spending time with family, friends and the occasional rock band. If I could find that mythical happy place that combines the way I feel in my favorite chair and the way I feel contemplating long-term hearing loss in a smokey bar, I'd be a happy man.
• Books: Grapes of Wrath, Crow Road, Red Sky at Morning, On The Road, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Babbit, The Great Gatsby, In Cold Blood, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
• Food: Ravioli, olives, pistachios, cranberry juice, fat burgers, thin fries, barbecue and pie. Anything, really, that makes a cardiologist cringe.
• Music: Old soul, new rock, traditional country, non-traditional chamber music..., You get the idea. The hits keep coming.

• Relationship Status: Married
• Children: Ava (as in Gardner) and Harrison (as in George)
• Location: Augusta, Ga.
• Education: B.A. (Journalism) Western Washington University
• Profession: Journalist
• Birthday: March 7

I was born in Los Angeles, Calif. but have never lived anywhere long enough to call it a home town. I have, in chronological order, been considered a resident of Los Angeles, Portland, Houston, Augusta, England, Sacramento, and Washinton State. I'm a graduate of Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School and Western Washington University (B.A. - Journalism) and covered arts and entertainment at the Augusta Chronicle from 1999 to 2010. I am the current News Editor at the Columbia County News-Times.
