Howdy! What’s going on? Are you lost?

It’s okay. Don’t be scared. Just click this link.

There. That’s better, isn’t it?

Well, you’re here; I’m here. We might as well make the most of it.

I’m Reed Hartman. We’ll get to your name later. I’m a creative, born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. I make music. I craft stories, poems, and adventures. I’m a dad, before everything else. I create memories with my family, friends, and loved ones.

Hobbies? Let’s see. I’m kind of a guitar nut. Not a literal guitar nut, of course, but I’ve been playing for a little over 20 years now. Music is my lifeblood. I couldn’t live without it.

Speaking of music, I’m also a record junkie. You know, records. The tiny spinning discs that you run a diamond needle across the top of and music comes out? I’m up to about 1500 by last count. It’s an addiction, really. I can’t stop. If you can’t find me for any extended amount of time, I’m probably at the nearest Half Price Books digging through their clearance section.

How did I get into advertising? It’s a funny story, actually. I’ve got a degree in classics. No, not those classics. The classics. Cicro, Julius Caesar, aqueducts, Spartans, and the like. Through an extremely convoluted series of events, I ended up writing ad copy, doing websites, and creating campaigns for some of the biggest names around the globe.

If you’d have told me that 20 years ago, I would have said you’re crazy. But there’s no other business I’d rather be in. After all, how many people who claim to be writers can actually say that they write for a living?

Well, that’s enough about me. What about you?
