I’m Andy Proffet, a writer born and raised in a landlocked state who is currently using a photo I took of the waves off Kauai as the top photo on his website. There’s probably something to that choice..,

Under renovation

Sure, you’re not supposed to leave stuff “under construction” on your website. But I like this layout and didn’t want to mess it up so you get a photo of The Sphere from our trip to Las Vegas.

More to come

Who did that?

I’ll never tell.

Take a look around

There’s not much on here at the moment, but give it a try.
Or just look at this picture of Teapot Lake, Utah.

What’s old is … still old

While I work on new stories and whatnot for the website, here’s a look at some older posts.

The template I’m working off of has this as a spot to send me emails. Not sure I want that just yet.
