- Entrepreneurship
Amazing story with Felix Quinones whose passion shines through art and photography which has been a part of his life as long as he can remember. He has always been fascinated by the concept of an image and how it makes others feel. Felix and his super supportive wife had the opportunity to serve the USA for 12 years in the United States Marine Corps, and you will hear in this conversation about his challenges with mental illness, diversity, finding his passion and about his importance in his family to push him forward. His story is about defiance and fortitude, and how he now lets that shine through his work in photography and art. In 2020 Felix speaks about working in HR for a major casino in California. Once the Pandemic hit, they were both furloughed. As a father of three children, he knew he was not going to make it very far without making a quick decision for him and his family. Together they decided in the midst of a pandemic to pack up and move to Texas and start a photography business. There were so many risk factors including the cost of the move, no jobs, no client base, a business that requires personal interaction during a massive pandemic and only a small amount of savings to live on. Throughout his time in the Marine Corps one thing that was ingrained in him was “mission accomplishment”. Once you have set your sights on an objective, it must be obtained no matter what!
