Introduction: A little bit about me
Hello Everyone! My name is Jacob Perkins
Here's a tough question I do not like answering: “Tell me about yourself.”
There's a million things that come to mind when I am asked this, but the only words I can ever spit out are, "Eh, I'm just a normal dude. I do my own thing."
THE FACT IS: I'm 22. Every morning I drink two cups of black coffee. I like rock, blues, soul. I wake up early, and I go to bed late.
I ended up back in school when I was twenty. One day I hope to be entirely self-employed, that is why I’m studying business; for that same reason is why I am in this class.
2020... Oh what a year it has been
I'm sure many of you had an interesting ride on this roller coaster we call 2020, I know I have...
Here's my 2020:
In March I became a first-time homeowner, two weeks later the Corona Virus hit Oregon and I got laid off from my job. Filing for unemployment a week before your first mortgage payment is not how you imagine things will go. I cannot describe how stressed out/sick I was.
Since the restaurant I was laid off from was not an essential business, I did not want to go back, I need job security. I currently work full time at Safeway, and I am very much enjoying it.
In August, A friend of mine (Old in age) who owned an Art Gallery In downtown Albany called, "The Eclectic Zebra" told me he was ready to close his doors and retire. He wanted to sell me his shop. I wrote a business plan that did not involve an, "In-person store." This is how I collected all 10,000 pieces of art work that I am storing in my garage/attic/bedroom/shed/every closet in the house.
In conclusion: This is where my passion lies. I’m currently in the very rough beginning stages of creating this Online Art Gallery, “Oregon Art Discovery.” I should have the website up by November 1st.
Here are the pictures of The Eclectic Zebra before it was moved:
