Arthur has been described as a self-made renaissance man with boundless vision and an engaging sense of humor. A native of New Orleans, Arthur is a graduate of Georgia’s Riverside Military Academy. He credits Riverside with instilling self-discipline and a work ethic that demands the successful completion of every task to the very best of his ability.

Arthur began his sales career selling Cutco cutlery door-to-door, and never left a home without selling “at least a pair of scissors”. He took the initiative to study the writings of the “legends” of sales and motivation, and developed his own unique style of service-centered sales.

Arthur applied this style to a successful stint at Ikon Office Products, where he earned a number of national sales awards and recognition. The next step was entrepreneurial, when Arthur, John Davidson and Guy Keller started Crystal Clear Imaging with two copiers, one contract, and a wealth of ambition.

Arthur led the sales development efforts at CCI throughout its remarkable growth, including the traumatic months following Hurricane Katrina, which destroyed his home and displaced his family for over a year. Arthur kept CCI alive by selling large numbers of small street signs announcing the reopening of local businesses such as restaurants and shops.

Another side of Arthur is his talent as a master craftsman and cabinetmaker. His cabinetry is still in demand, even though his business and family commitments keep his personal time at a premium. He is a devoted husband and father, and is active in his children’s athletic programs, including serving as president and leading the rebuilding of Lakeview Playground, providing recreational opportunities for over 1,200 children.
