Akers, Eric. (2019) PNG
I’m originally from a small farm in Kentucky. I graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1997. Worked for a prominent graphic design firm in Santa Barbara, while also freelancing graphic design and engineering audio under LivingTree Studios. In the summer of 2008 I moved to the growing farming community in the Central Valley of California to not only start a new life with my wife and kids, but to bring affordable graphic design to the area. In many ways the farms and conservative values that surround me here bring me back full circle to where I grew up.
I met my wife almost 15 years ago, and we were friends before we dated. We’ve been married over 10 years and have 2 beautiful daughters.
My wife is my inspiration for becoming a teacher. Without her guidance and knowledge of pedagogy I’d be lost.
