“I am pleased to relate the appointment of STANANDLOU as the advertising and marketing arm for Mama’s house.

This group is STRONG on both the creative and execution requirements necessary to help Mama reach the consumer/corporate markets she is seeking.

The approaches outlined in a combination of Public Relations and Advertising are not only cost effective, but MORE importantly unique and special. We are fortunate to find this rare breed here in Houston!!”

My friend Ray Caywood did this little manipulation for me. It was TOTALLY unsolicited!!!No, Really.

In any event, Ray is a very skilled PhotoShop expert so if you’re needing to add to your staff, Ray would be a good guy to have around. If for no other reason than to make you look good.

Objective
To obtain a challenging position in a growing company that allows for creative ideas and designs. I have a passion
for creating and manipulating graphics in any medium. A fun environment where I can do this would be ideal.
