Introduction

I am a self‐motivated, creative, and diligent master of logistics, planning, operations, and administration. After growing up in small‐town Northeast Texas and graduating at the top of my class, I pursued further education and was anointed my first degree with Honors from Texas A&M University‐Commerce. I had the good fortune to subsequently serve four school districts in Texas as a Technical Theatre Director, Auditorium Manager, and Director of Theatre, successfully growing and developing each program during my respective tenures. I am now retired from the teaching profession and excited to continue serving my peers via Artistic Consultancy while I develop gamified educational applications for use in fine arts learning spaces. I sell my art and pursue long‐term professional/creative contracts as a form of monetary sustenance to feed my family and myself between consultancy contracts and commissioned works.
