This blog is brought to you with the help and support of five very important people! First and foremost on the list is (of course) my sister, Stacy – who has constantly said to me “YOUR WORDS MATTER”. She was, also, able to take the one thought I had about the ‘concept of me’ and turn it into my brand.
Her co-conspirator is a very dear friend of mine – Jola. She has an uncanny ability to take the most inconsequential thing and make it into a sensation – I have witnessed this both professionally and personally.
Next – Ellen Killian (view her work at thinkkillian.com) who was able to take my emotional mess and make this amazing blog. How far we have come in a few short weeks?! I know I scared her after our first meeting as I scared myself with the thought of “Do I really want to do this?” Thank you! Thank you! You have no idea the impact you have had on my creative notion.
Heather Behlendorf - (heatherbeephoto.com) – is responsible for all the professional photos you see in my social media. Not only is she an extremely talented photographer she has talked me from the ledge on a photo session or two. She just has a way of soothing your soul and getting you to open up about what is truly on the inside.
Lastly, Raul, thank you for continually encouraging me (over the past several years) to begin writing what God has placed in my heart. While I have always known that I have wanted to write … the creation of Outlaw, Ink emerged from a simple drink and a candid conversation about what one wants the future to hold and the humble act of taking a leap of faith…
Thank you to all those who support me now and in the future - I appreciate you taking this journey with me!
