who is the man behind the mission?
I can honestly say that life has never been boring....now don’t get me wrong, my life, as some would see it, may be charmed. I had a wonderful childhood in SW VA, playing in the woods... running through the yards of neighbors and had magical christmases.
As most kids like me, there were times when life was “tough”. Being picked last for kickball, having people make fun of you because you weren’t like the other kids, or just knowing something was a little different....all of these things lead me to where I am today. Along the way, I had many teacher who lifted me up and supported me. Jean Whiteside, Bonnie Keyser and lastly Homer Springer made their mark on me and I will forever be grateful for their guidance and support.
My professional career is varied and I’ve had many jobs before I made it to where I am today. I realize now that all of those jobs built the foundation for my current job.....block by block. I am currently working as a Director of Social Media and Visual Design for John-Richard.....life is good.....I have a wonderful group of friends and family who support me and my decisions.
My artwork is diverse and I would say one common theme throughout is color and design. Whether I am creating in 2D or 3D, those two elements are often the driving factors in my work.
I have surrounded myself with great people and have learned so much from each of them. Life is never boring....life is to be lived....go be ALIVE!!!!!!!
