FAMILY: Single, son of Von and Sandy Tomlinson

EDUCATION: 2006 graduate of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.

HOBBIES: “Cars ... any kind of Mustangs. Computers and any kind of cutting-edge electronics also draw my interest.”

MOST VALUABLE LESSON: “God is always in control. We just have to trust him no matter what kind of curves life might throw at us.”

GREATEST CHALLENGE: “As a graphic artist, it’s pretty challenging to design a piece that you don’t personally like. Not everything you do can be a masterpiece. At the end of the day, if your client is happy and your work accomplishes their goal, you’ve also accomplished yours.”

CAREER HIGHLIGHT: “The satisfaction of doing what I love and making our clients happy in the process.”

FIRST CHOICE FOR A NEW CAREER: A track tester for SVT (Ford Special Vehicle Team) or a race-car driver

PET PEEVE: “Low-resolution images and text that actually gets printed... . Don’t even get me started.” He also cites bad drivers and traffic.
