This journey started in Chicago, Illinois. I was a college graduate working hard to land a job. Year after year, I completed hundreds of applications. And over and over, I was rejected. Despite my skills and work experience, society seemed to reject me. It was terrible. After a while I started to realize finding the perfect job was just that, a dream. So I did some soul searching. I needed to find the opportunity I had always wanted. So I decided to become a Graphic Artist. My first loves as a child were creating Art and clothing. Once I came to this realization, I knew Entrepreneurship was the right path for me. I didn’t waste any time; I got right to work. Countless hours of study and practice landed me where I am today. My ambition is to make Art the likes of which the world has never seen. To me it’s all about boldness and consistency. The city of Chicago, Illinois is still where Strata is based. But no matter where you’re from the Strata Atoll story is mine and yours. It’s about joy and pain, victory and defeat. It’s about fortitude, being tested during difficulty and not running away. The most important part of this story is reaching a higher level. A person who has been tested many times rises. As you soar strength, peace, and love grow from within. And all of these values are not just for oneself. They need to be shared with the rest of the world. Once you reach this new height, you’ve made it to the island of Strata Atoll. This island in the clouds is for the rare few. People with a strong sense of identity. People who know what needs to be done. At this height, nothing is impossible and you are unstoppable. And I, Frank V., am here to provide you gifts with which to celebrate. Welcome my friends…to Strata Atoll. Keep your head in the clouds and keep flyin’!
