Background

About Bryan Stowe

I worked in the creative field for most of my professional career. The industry I worked in was booming in the early but progressively decreased in participation forcing consolidation and downsizing and ultimately elimination. I moved from the largest company in our industry to a smaller manufacturing company within the same industry with a proven solid niche market. The re-branding and marketing was a success, with year-over-year sales increases until COVID-19 hit. Once the industry was shut down sales were drastically reduced forcing the elimination of my position in creative marketing. I have since been trying to find my footing in this ever-changing pandemic world. I worked in the overnight receiving department at Lowe's for 8 months running forklifts, unloading trucks and restocking. This position was a great experience the people I worked with were like a family and are still. I would still be in that position if not for my young children requiring that I earn a higher wage than a receiver position could offer. I am currently working in yet another industry as a Boarding Agent for Norton Lilly International. Clearing ships through Customs, coordinating all aspects of bringing large container ships and tankers in and out of port. This position offers a skillset completely foreign to anything I have learned in the creative field. Each day offers something new and different from the on before. I have always lived my life appreciating every experience that has come my way, calling them "Life Experiences" you never know what is on the horizon or what the next life experience will be.
