I guess I've always been broken, liked everything old.
Um, heritage and tradition is really, really deep for me.
Um, I try to incorporate that into everything I do.
Um, raised on a ranch by, my dad's a pretty strong, you know, minded kind of cowboy guy
from back in the day, and I kind of got all that good, uh, upbringing, you know,
told me right from wrong, taught me chivalry.
Yeah, born in, actually, slow, but 4th generation Templeton.

So Lucky Bee Design was the name I took when I went into business for myself.
And the Lucky Bee is my grandfather's cattle brand
that he ran when he was actually down south running cattle in the 30s, 40s in Pasadena area.
Uh, it just took on its own life and I've been doing it now 25 years.

Well, for sure, years ago it was really hard.

You have to be creative.

I should think, I feel like I'm sounding like a kook, but, um,
my motto has always been pride in tradition.
And I really feel that that is, that's important.
I mean, there's a way to do certain things.
There's a way to, you can't fake this. It can't be faked.
You have to, like, put in your time. You have to live it.
You have to be 100% with it.
The local is huge. Support, you know, I have a hat right there.
Support those who support you.
Uh, I will go to Hewitt's. I did all their lettering on the building,
the hardware store down the way.
I'll go to Hewitt's before I go across the creek to any of the other big box stores.
Uh, just because they know what's going on there,
I want to support them. They sold to my grandfather.
They sold to my mother.
Here it's a real deal.
You can surf in the morning and work cows in the afternoon,
and that's just what's super rad about here.
It's its own little part of the world.
