| Age: 31 Founder and creative director, SLANT media llc Describe your job responsibilities: SLANT is a creative marketing and design agency. Cecil leads the team through the creative process and makes sure their work is the best it can possibly be before we hand over the keys to the client. Community involvement: MDA “Downtown Charleston Lockup” event participant and donor. Pro bono marketing and design work for Palmetto Medical Initiative. Provides pro bono design work for East Cooper Breakfast Rotary Club. Adjunct professor of computer skills and graphics at the American College of the Building Arts for two years. What is your professional goal? For SLANT to become a world dominant creative powerhouse ... with a ping pong table. What is your personal mission statement? Do what’s right and always be fair. What is the best career advice you’ve ever been given? You can’t do it all on your own, so surround yourself with people smarter than you. Who has inspired you or impacted your life and why? Go ahead and roll your eyes, but it’s without a doubt, my beautiful wife Lindsey. She gave me the encouragement to go out on my own and make SLANT a reality, she’s forgiving when I work into the wee hours of the night, and she’s patient when I go on wild mood swings as a result of being a business owner. But most of all, she’s the epitome of a good person, one whom I strive to be more like. Favorite hour of the day and why: 6 p.m.-7 p.m. Because I get to leave work behind — for at least a little while — and enjoy quality time with my son and my wife. Return to list
