My name is Holly Chaffin Porter, but online I am more commonly known as H.C Porter. H.C Porter became my commonly used name in 2009, when I first began publishing articles online. Although my real name may be Holly Chaffin Porter, the reputation which I carry as H.C Porter is of equal importance to me. Each professional position I have held, I have walked away from being a more complete and capable individual than the day I arrived on the job. I love the arts, anything from drawing and photography to jewelry making and writing, which is why I am thrilled to have had so many people believe in me and my abilities as H.C Porter the writer and as a photographer. I have been blessed to know many talented people that have pushed me to develop my talents and interests, as well as allowed me to learn so much within so many different areas. I enjoy starting new projects and working with businesses that are developing who they are and where they fit into the corporate world. When you are beginning something new or working with someone who is building their dreams from concept to reality, the world is exciting and the attention to details is appreciated. When others are excited about the work that they are doing the work is great and the morale is upbeat, even if stressful at times. Life is too short not to live at full capacity 100% of the time. Which is why with every bit of my experience as a Professional Photographer, Copy Writer, Columnist, Marketing Director, Customer Service/ Account Manger, I have learned more about myself and have taken with me knowledge and experience that is adding to my understanding of the importance of hard work to be and feel accomplished.
