• When I am asked to work on Professional Projects, I involve my students for
their Design Skills and Fresh Ideas and the chance to get Experience on their
Resumes before they graduate.
• I taught Photoshop for Forensics to the Vero Beach Police Department.
• Every year for 13 years I've paid for all the 283 Student Addy Awards here at
IRSC, and this past year some of our best agencies had nothing to present.
• I called several professionals - and paid their fees and they entered their best
work to keep up the momentum of quality work here on the Treasure Coast.
• I explained this to Heather Christman, 4AAF Governor of Florida, and she was
extremely impressed by our Design Membership and the quality of the work
at the 2020 Treasure Coast Addy Judging.
• It's a very self-serving world now.
• However, I keep our students at the forefront of everything I do.
• I'm rewarded with comments from my students all over the country.
• Our Students Success is all over the United States - Seattle, California, North Carolina - all over
• The Salaries of our outstanding student designers reflects our true success!
• It makes all the hard work worth every minute.
