“Traditional” wasn’t in my vocabulary as a kid. I was homeschooled 30 years before the rest of the world would give it a shot.
College began at 16. By 19 my father suggested I quit my job, leave school and open my first photo studio.
I knew what it looked like to take action when opportunity opens. In the 90’s my dad defied all challenges to become a successful first generation farmer.
His recommendation would become a springboard into many business opportunities, yet felt risky. Entrepreneurship would became fuel for all my curiosities.
An active imagination had been expanded through reading and creative writing. My mother’s investment in my education, specifically liberal arts still proves to be foundational. She could take a boring task and turn it into a creative new game at a moments notice. I look at each day with gratitude and excitement thanks to her positive reframing of any situation.
