This canvas art picture of the beautiful Breckenridge Colorado ski runs is offered with an "open window" design so from any room of your home you will feel like you are right there overlooking the ski resort of Breckenridge. This one is displayed in a dark gray window frame but other color options can be selected. I love taking pictures of some of the most beautiful places on this amazing planet. What was once a hobby has now become my second career path in life & I love it so much. It wasn't always that way though. I grew up playing music in my teen years. Drums & lead guitar in various bands in Florida. After having a hit record in my hometown of Fort Myers Florida, I went to visit the local radio station that made our record so popular. I still remember seeing the DJ behind the glass spinning the records & I was hooked. I started hanging around the radio station begging them to let me on the air. I knew I could do this. Eventually the manager gave in & I was in hog heaven. I spent years in pop & country radio starting first as a D.J. Then in our mid-20's both my wife & I had a life changing faith conversion. This eventually motivated us to start a non-profit organization in order to begin one of America's first Top 40 Christian radio stations to positively impact teens & young adults in Fort Myers. That one station eventually grew by many more which took us to Colorado where I ended up starting 5 new radio stations throughout the state. When I stepped down as CEO in 2017, Way-FM was in over 35 cities. I retired early from radio after severe hearing loss came upon me almost overnight.

Music was such an important part of my life up to this point & now I couldn't enjoy it any longer. We left Colorado & moved to Nashville Tennessee where our grown kids had settled. Not knowing what I would do next (I knew I could not return to radio anymore due to my hearing loss). One day some friends saw a few of my mountain pictures in our home & they said"this stuff is goodpeople would buy these". I didn't believe them at first but I kept hearing it from other friends. We were planning a summer trip with family heading back out to Colorado for a week. Without telling anyone in my family, I decided to bring a couple small canvas pictures on the trip. We were headed to our timeshare in Breckenridge & I had some pictures I took of Breckenridge a few years earlier. One morning with almost zero confidence & a lot of fear of being rejected, I worked up the nerve to take a couple of my pictures to shops along Main Street in Breckenridge. To my shock & amazement the first gift shop said "YES, these are good. We want to buy some of these & carry them in our store". They ordered 5 pictures which totaled less than $300 but to me, it was like I hit the jackpotwhich is weird because in my radio
