Originally a somewhat shy kid from Amarillo, Texas, Art moved around a lot in his early years because his step-dad was in the Air Force.
He went to high school mostly in Arkansas and undergraduate school at Northeast Louisiana State College, in Monroe, Louisiana where he majored in Music Education and took ROTC.
ROTC got him a free trip to S.Vietnam where he began to see the world is a big and fascinating place.
Art liked S.Vietnam and stayed for a few years selling cars in the PX and later working for U.S.O. Clubs in Saigon.
After coming back to the US in 72, Art got a graduate degree in international business but for some strange reason which he doesn't fully understand either, wound up working in New York City in the auto parts business.
Eventually getting bored of that he went to southern Louisiana and worked in the oil field service business for about three years. Finding that that kind of work.
Art eventually realized that wasn't his cup-of-tea either so he went back to Amarillo and eventually got into direct sales. That's why he's not shy anymore.
Since that time Art has been in several different industries including auto sales, auto parts, outdoor direct sales, electrical sign sales, sales training and the motivational development business.
In 1985 Art started his own mobile windshield repair business in Houston, Texas and did pretty well for several years.....liking the outdoor nature and public contact of that business.
Business conditions change though and as the mobile windshield repair business became less lucrative, and after he 'almost' married a girl from Colombia and after his mom finally died in Houston Art stumbled across an opportunity to teach English in S.Korea where he presently is...... having a ball.
Art is a Christian and politically is somewhere between Libertarian and Republican.
Art's job in Korea isn't very hard but he takes advantage of the opportunity to dance at the many fine salsa clubs in Seoul and work on his goal of building an online business that'll enable him to travel the world.
