“I Wanted To Go To All 50 States, I Just Didn’t Expect To Do It In a Year”
We are speaking with Garrett Cornelison, an alumnus of the Simpson Beta Alpha chapter. Cornelison has an uncanny ability to recognize opportunities and be willing to follow them.
An example is the 50-state road trip which he leveraged into a successful commercial photography career in Los Angeles. There he worked with companies like Apple, Coachella, Lincoln Motor Company, eBay, and more.
When the pandemic hit, Cornelison moved home to Des Moines. He learned to sew and turned his vast personal vintage collection into a vintage clothing and antique store called the Dust Collective.
“I think when you recognize opportunities, and you're open to them, and you're willing to follow those….man, life just sort of unlocks in some mysterious, wild, wonderful ways.
I think that's just what I've always tried to do”
