My brother worked at a brewpub in college and always wanted to brew beer, so one year for Christmas we got him a home brew kit. He didn’t want to take it back with him on the plane so I was supposed to return it and give him the money. I decided to brew a batch of beer instead of return it and had a blast. Read more>>

My wife, Rebecca, and I moved to Texas from Ohio, approximately 13 years ago, after we received word that I had been accepted into TCU’s History PhD program.

“Christian and Crazy” started out as just a blog. I’ve always loved writing and thought a blog would be fun, but never started it. My husband encouraged me about a year ago to just do it, and it started to get a good response and the brand grew from there. Read more>>

Edmond Breaux

My story started in April of 81, New Orleans, Louisiana. Growing up I would always hear that I was different from all the other kids. My mom would say “I beat by my own drum.” I wanted to do things my way and made no apologies about what I wanted to do. I just wanted to be creative and see things that was in my mind come to life.

Growing up, I became very familiar with the “Doctors Book of Home Remedies” because we couldn’t afford to access medical care for common aches and pains. My mom was a single parent and living below the poverty level meant that we had to get creative. Read more>>

I have always loved working with flowers and creating things but my true passion for flowers started when my own daughter got married 7 years ago at the beautiful Robert Carr Chapel at TCU. We had invited 300 people and when we started pricing flowers, we were amazed (and a little terrified) at the costs. Read more>>

When I was a child I was struck by a vehicle. It was one of those long boat type of vehicles. It was yellow and it ran me over. Twice! The first when it struck me, and second when it reversed on me as the driver thought it was still on top of me. Read more>>

Bliss Off the Rack started as what we liked to call an Angel Program. At our main salon, Bliss Bridal Salon, a bride that needed a little extra help in a short amount of time was called an Angel Case to us. We found that many stores would tell brides that they were unable to help them due to timeframe and/or budget and having just been a bride myself, those were definitely not words I would have wanted to hear.

While interning at a gallery in Dallas one summer in college, I fell in love with the constant hanging and rehanging of work and meeting new artists and getting to know them.

I have always enjoyed connecting with and helping people. In high school, when my psychology teacher told me I would make a good social worker, I had no idea what a social worker was.
