Visual arts are my love. I’ve been drawing since I was four, learning how to draw characters from cartoons and comics. Ever since seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark at the theaters (shout-out to 1981), I’ve wanted to be a filmmaker. I bought my first camcorder in 2008, got involved with some friends on shorts and music videos, and have continued to this day. I developed a love of photography from my Uncle Larry. Read More>>

All Storage is a family-owned and operated business, Mike Schuminsky, my dad, mentor, and best friend, was a visionary in the self-storage field. Not only did he develop all of the original All Storage locations, he also was a pioneer in creating larger location, pushing storage amenities like cameras, plasma screens, great big comfortable offices, and different storage types like our EZ Drive Thru feature which allows our customers to pull into the buildings to unload their belongings and exit on the other side. Mike realized that people wanted a better product, not those first-generation storages where you’re more likely to leave with cobwebs and horror stories than a smile. Read More>>

I started my first business when I was 14, mowing yards and pressure washing around my neighborhood with the help of my father. He taught me a great deal about taking pride in my work, customer service, and what it means to be a professional. As I grew up and entered the workforce, I could never find anything that gave me the same sense of fulfillment that I had when working for myself. Fast forward to 2013 when, after years of researching and studying, I formed Titan Pressure Washing. Read More>>
