Jeep World: A Short Story

Improved Essays
Good morning, Kate!

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Also, thank you for your patience. Writing for TGM is just a hobby right now, so I've got my everyday life to juggle and sometimes this gets put on the back burner.
The next TGM issue won’t come out until April, so we've got plenty of time! I also need about a dozen hi-res pics to be able to use in the article. Do you think that you have some you'd be willing to share? If you feel up to it, I think it would be great fun to go wheeling together and get some pics to use that way too. Also, it couldn't hurt with the flow of the story. I'm just north of Ohio, so it's totally doable. :)

Good morning! Thank you for this opportunity! I will attach the photos to the email. I

My go to for help in the Jeep world since the beginning is Greg Henderson. Greg was the one who I ran into at Jeep Beach two years ago in a hotel parking lot because I needed help lining up a decal on my hood. It was that conversation that changed my life forever. As I always say, if it wasn’t for Greg I wouldn’t be where I am today. He was the first one to see my potential and what I have to offer to this industry. I can’t thank him enough for that.

My other go to in the Jeep community is Jeff Yurk. Jeff is the type of guy you could call if you were broken down across the country and he would leave his house at any hour to come help. Not only is he the most reliable person I have ever met, he is one of the most intelligent. I look up to Jeff as an older brother and I wish that I could show how thankful I am for all that he does for me!

What's next? Where do you see yourself 3 more years from now? What dreams do you have as a jeeper? Race? Overland?

In the future, I hope to be more involved in off-road racing. I’m confident that will be the next major step in my career. My ultimate dream is to be a driver at King of the Hammer’s. This year I was fortunate enough to help on the Genright race team and it was AWESOME. After the week was over at KOH this year I knew that I was set on being a driver

    Not since 1992 has Jeep offered a pickup truck, but that will change within the next few years when an all-new model based on the platform underpinning the Jeep Wrangler SUV arrives to the market.

    My goal is visual storytelling for print and digital that is content-driven, clear and easy to navigate. I accomplish this by collaborating and communicating with photo and word editors. This also requires staying up-to-date with daily news and being familiar with our newspaper's content. I often juggle multiple tasks during a design shift. In addition to my design responsibilities, I help make sure design desk schedules are accurate and posted in a timely manner, fix plotter paper jams, resolve digital issues, manage page flow, convert graphics to our style or correct them, provide detailed explanations of workflow issues, create illustrations and provide help to my colleagues when needed.…
