In 2005 I was out getting a bite to eat in St Pete, wearing my Artillery t-shirt, when a guy came up to me and said he had heard about me and what I was doing. He asked if I would get my food to go and have lunch with him at the shuffleboard club. I was intrigued and so we met there and talked. Meeting Chris Kelly that day lead to a collaboration that changed the future of the shuffleboard club and all those involved. 17 years later it's still going strong. When I think about all the good we did, the joy we brought into the community, it's truly humbling. When I created The Artillery, I came up with the tagline, "Defining Creative Culture" – it was a bold statement for sure, but also accurate.
