We had the good fortune of connecting with Bobby Bushcraft and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bobby, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
I provide very low cost photography and some video services to clients. I am able to this since I retired almost five years ago. I went into knowing I did not have to rely on the income. I do it as a passion and challenge to create and learn. Some of the people and organizations I work with are political figures, and candidates for office so I help by providing very little cost to the campaign so they can spend money where it is needed, ie; advertising, signs, commercials etc. I also frequently volunteer for community, non profit and social programs and provide them services at no cost.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I have worked and held a job since i was 14 years old. Started at gas stations, pizza parlors and amusement parks. In fact most of my life I have held at least 2 to 3 jobs at all times no matter where I was working. I still do so today at 54 years of age and after retiring from a 28 year career in law enforcement. I have traveled and lived in several countries and been to all but 4 states in the U.S.

I am a 5 year U.S. Army Veteran and also have worked in the music industry, entertainment industry, firearms and knife industry. insurance industry, construction, auto body, retail box store to high end luxury brand stores, worked for several magazine providing content, worked security and protection details. Volunteered for various social and sports organizations leading me to where I am today working for myself with no employees, no boss. I answer to the people who contract me. Im not the kind of person who can sit still. I need to always be doing something somewhere and meeting new people.

Almost Everything you learn is from living your life and taking in all the places, people and experiences. Life has so much to teach even without a formal education.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We would definitely hit the Grand Canyon and Page and spend several days there hiking and sight seeing then come down to Sedona and spend a few days there, camping, horseback riding then to Scottsdale and hit a few resorts with some golf and then some off roading up to Four Peaks then finish up by going down to the Pima Aviation Museum and Yards, and finish up with a day at Tombstone.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Must give thanks to everyone I have worked with collaborated with and to those who trust in me to deliver a superlative service.
