About Me
I am Michael Carnell. There, that is settled! I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and grew up in Charleston, South Carolina. When I graduated from the College of Charleston I lived for six months in Savannah, Georgia, before moving to Atlanta and getting married. We lived in Atlanta for about three and a half years, then moved back to Charleston where we have been ever since.
My interests are varied but include writing, religion, harassing my kids, messing around with old European cars – especially British, watching soccer of all varieties, partaking of the occasional cigar or pipe, and traveling as much as possible.
At the moment I drive an 2001 Ford Escape – not exotic, but practical for my needs. I had a beautiful brand new 2002 MINI Cooper S that I brought home on July 13th, 2002. I loved that car! To see it just go to My Mini’s Website. In addition I had a 1977 MG B that was put on the road after about 3 1/2 years of work. During that time I also had an MG 1100 sedan that I never quite found the time to restore. To find out more about MG 1100s go to my MG 1100 site. To find out more about all the British cars I love, just visit JustBritish. I am currently looking for an MG B GT – if you have one for sale or know who does, please let me know. I have also been entrusted with a 1962 Triumph TR4. This is a wonderful car which used to belong to the father of a great woman I actually went all through school with. Yup, we even were in the same first grade class! To take a look at the TR4 – which is about to start the restoration process – take a look at my Triumph TR4 Page.
On the work side, I lead Palmettobug Digital. Palmettobug Digital, partnered with PST Charleston, is a consulting, training and development company here in Charleston devoted to empowering people through technology. I also do a good bit of writing for technical publications of both the print and electronic variety. For more details on what I have written, check out my list of publications.
