Brief Profile
Thanks for taking a peak at my Art Marketing Blog. This blog came about just as many others things I have been involved with. I thought I saw a need. As for bit of background I have been an entrepreneur most of my life. You know, as a kid sold greeting cards door to door, carried my mower by the sissy bar on my Schwinn to my lawn mowing gigs. If I really look back at it I always have been a contrarian. Thats tough has a kid but even tougher as an adult. “Why cant you be like everyone else? Didya ever hear that? Anyway went to the US Navy School of Photography after high school. I planned that and specifically wanted that school at the time. I learned a bunch and had a blast. I had a major challenge with the socialistic nature of the system. I am not faultng that…It just didnt work for me. I got out after my five years and pursued a bunch of otherthings. Much in the way of photography and art but always finding businesses I had an interest in along the way. I headed to College later on in life as a “non-traditional student” and graduated with a degree from Regis University in Accounting. That after a stint in fine-art. Not much transfers. Long-time student. Anyway went to the corporate world in about 1988 or so, banking, finance, recruiting, oh and accounting. I bounced around there and decided that an ADD dyslexic accounting geek that love the arts would be bette off on his own. So I went out on my own with various ventures. So winners and some colssal failures….but always educational specific to business and marketing. So roll down the road several years when I got back into Photography as a profession. I quickly realized a few things. One, most artists new nothing about marketing, two. I didn’t like a single income stream and the pressure of commercial production. Dont misunderstand by thinking I mean as a commercial photographer. No I mean day in day out having to produce even if you were dry inside. So a decision was made to do what I do best which is business and marketing and combine that with my passion for the arts. So there you have it. Someday I will fill in the years with some stories about the business ventures. Educational adventure is what I call it. So until next time…….day by the hour -life by a vision.
