Creative Momentum with John Weiss

John Weiss is a full-time artist, writer, and photographer. His elegant stories and essays about life, illustrated with his whimsical cartoons and classic black & white photography, are enjoyed by over 49,000 readers of his weekly newsletter, “The Saturday Letters”. John was always an artist at heart, but he became a full-time artist in 2016 after 26 years in law enforcement. Not what you’d call a typical journey for a talented artist. John rose to the level of police chief of the Scotts Valley Police Department in Northern California, and holds a masters degree in criminal justice administration. Listen as John takes us through his unique journey as passionate by way of a law enforcement career. You’ll hear how John found intriguing parallels between both two careers, and how his passion for his creative life continues to grow everyday.
