A Brief Stint as an European Explorer:

By the time he returned, he had bought shot glasses in Hungary, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Andorra, Spain, Portugal, Brussels, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark and even Luxembourg. His most memorable endeavors included visiting the Vatican City, wine tasting in Portugal, beer consuming in Germany, hiking up a volcano, driving down Sicilian streets, walking through the black forest, running with the bulls, and one night in Rome that his mother will never find out about.

Early Years:
Born in a small suburb outside of Washington, D.C. Casper Uhl began his interest as an artist at an early age. Earning high scores and winning artistic competition awards in elementary school gained him recognition by his teachers who placed him into a more advanced "talented and gifted" middle school program. His achievements at Springbrook High School in arts and mathematics were also noticed and in 1990 his art portfolio earned him access to a specialized visual arts program at Einstein High School, where he enrolled in college-level art classes. He attended both high schools simultaneously and was publicly recognized at Springbrook's end-of-the-year ceremony with awards for "Stage and Set Design", and an individual achievement award for "Outstanding Artist". In 1992 he graduated from Springbrook High School with honors and scholarship to the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Throughout his high school years Casper also continued his interests in percussion music, baseball, martial arts, and theater set design. If you have read this far, you should be asking yourself "why isn't Casper working for us". You can contact Casper to pursue that question.
