Art has held a special place in my heart for as long as I can remember and is something that brings great joy into my life. After being medically retired from the military, I made the decision to pursue a new career that incorporated my passions because life is too long to do something you hate every day. So far, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Graphic Arts program and believe that I have found a career field in which I can express my creativity while still providing for my family.
