When the call came in 2023 I was naturally hesitant and even skeptical he would find much material for an article, but Raleigh-based writer Mike Welton had been following my work via Instagram for some time and felt differently. Having never sought public press or been published since starting my firm in 2016, he wanted to pitch something to Virginia Living and said he would be in touch. Many months passed.

About a year later, Mike called with the news of Virginia Living's acceptance of his pitch - and it would be a full biographical piece. For this introvert, hesitancy returned! I tried to get the whole thing postponed. Too late, he had a contract for it! The in-person interview happened in May 2024 at my Richmond studio, and the article is featured in the current (Jan/Feb 2025) issue of Virginia Living (and to my surprise, it starts on page 78, which ironically happens to be my birth year in the month of February - none of which was planned).

Superstitions aside, as these things go, subjects don't get to see a draft in advance, so I was as surprised as anyone could be. Reading a story of one's lived truths and experiences is a strange feeling - almost like being a visitor to your own life.

I want to express profound gratitude to: Writer, J. Michael Welton, Virginia Living Magazine (specifically editor Madeline Mayhood, and Art Director, Ryan Rich), Photographer, Ansel Olson, to each wonderful and trusting Client (past, active, and soon to come), and to my parents, my wife, and my family.
