Favorite Austin Quote from Alterity: “I should’ve clarified myself when I said that I would wait until marriage. So, let me be clear. My body won’t join with another until I wed, but I’ll be damned if that means I cannot taste you.”
Austin was born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. Born to a blue-blooded father of strong Scottish stock and an American mother of lesser status, he’s expected to uphold the standards of his paternal forefathers and save himself for the woman he is to marry. He is a man of deep faith and conviction. The MacKenzies are part of Scottsdale society, but Austin wants nothing to do with this or his pre-arranged marriage to beautiful socialite, Jennifer Clawson.
Austin is in his final year of Pre-Med and plans to attend Berkley to finish his undergrad. He is currently undecided about which field of medicine he intends to practice. Piano was his first instrument and guitar his second.
Austin’s favorite foods are shortbread, rotisserie chicken, and shrimp & grits. He is a semi-vegetarian as does not eat beef. He enjoys composing music, doing Mixed Martial Arts and performing charity work in his spare time.
