WE TOLD YOU YOUR TIME WOULD COME, DIDN’T WE, GUYS? Since the May issue was all about the ladies, we thought it was only fair that the June issue of Hendersonville Lifestyle be dedicated to the gents of our community.

While we will celebrate the dads in our lives on Father’s Day, June 17, you don’t have to be a father to find something you’ll enjoy in these pages.

Now that you’ve met the female movers and shakers of the community, we’ll introduce you to some influential men in this month’s feature. Learn about what makes them unique and how they’re impacting the community. If you haven’t already, you’ll probably run into one—or several—of them out on the town!

Preparing for a night out with the guys? We’ll show you the perfect places in the community to grab a drink, watch the big game or just catch up with pals. If you’d rather stay in, we provide you the perfect recipe to whip up. It’s guaranteed to

Pioneer Pen may be taken as an English practicum at Vol State. It is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in all aspects of publishing a literary arts magazine.

“I wanted to join Pioneer Pen partly because I’m a writer, but I want to do some work as an editor in journalism, and I thought it would give me some legitimate experience," Student editor Kaily Farrell says.

"My favorite part is putting it all together and seeing which pieces actually complement each other, even though they may be from different people. It reminds me there’s a sort of universality among all artists whether they’re painters, writers or photographers.”

30 additional top 10 hits.

While most people are aware of the musical artistry of William, few are aware of his other artistic accomplishments. In addition to his musical creativity, he is also an accomplished painter and photographer.

According to William, he has always had an appreciation for the visual arts.

“I have been blessed to know a lot of painters and photographers over the years, and I have always admired their styles and their attention to detail," he says.

After many years of observation, he finally decided to try his hand at painting when his son was a baby.

“I had always wanted to try my hand at painting, but I put it off for years," he says. "Finally, I decided to give acrylics a shot to see how well I could do."

"I was going through a lot in my personal life and painting helped me take my mind to beautiful places that soothed me.”

However, despite the joy that he found in his art, he began to get increasingly frustrated with the slow painting process.

“Most of my paintings took three to six months to complete, with some of them taking over a year,” he says.

One day, he realized that he could get just as much satisfaction from photography as he could from painting.

“It was an eye-opener," he says. "I had always used photographs to paint from, and I suddenly realized that I enjoyed taking the pictures more than the painting. Plus, the process was much faster.”

Through the years, William has refined his photographic skills, and he has received widespread recognition for many of his images. These days, he primarily images landscape and scenic views from around the country as he tours with the Oak Ridge Boys. He has also become quite proficient at sharing his images on social media.

“I want everyone to see what I am seeing,” he says.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR GADGETS & ELECTRONICS BREAK UBREAKIFIX: KEEPING TECHNOLOGY WORKING IN HENDERSONVILLE ACCORDING TO UBREAKIFIX OWNER SUSAN WRIGHT, REPAIR STATISTICS SHOW THAT THE AVERAGE TIME FROM PURCHASING A NEW SMARTPHONE AND BREAKING IT IS 10 WEEKS.

ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. Breakdowns happen too. Most of the time, we accept their inevitability, and we just deal with them as they occur. However, when the failures impact our technology such as smartphones, tablets and computers, these events can have significant adverse impacts on our lives.

Given the growing dependence on smart devices, periods of downtime can present serious problems in both personal and business situations. In today’s technology-driven environment, many people are completely dependent upon their smart devices to provide them with the schedules, communications and information needed to get through their busy days.

Fortunately, Hendersonville area residents have a fast and efficient local solution to gadget woes in the form of uBreakiFix. Located at 112C Saundersville Road, uBreakiFix provides the first line of defense against device failures resulting from accidental damage and component failures.

As soon as customers step inside of uBreakiFix, they realize the company is not a typical repair shop. From a sparkling showroom to an ultra-clean repair room, uBreakiFix is designed to be

the one-stop repair destination for modern devices and gadgets.

While smartphones, tablets and computers are its mainstays, uBreakiFix has been successful at repairing many different electronic devices. From gaming systems to radios to eight-track players, uBreakiFix has been able to restore life to a variety of modern and vintage electronic systems, according to Hendersonville store manager Adam Warner.

According to owner Susan Wright, uBreakiFix’s business model is built upon three key concepts: customer service, quality repairs and courteous, knowledgeable technicians. uBreakiFix has invested heavily in employee training, laboratory-grade diagnostic equipment and spare parts to make sure that the customer device repair experience is as painless as possible. With more than 25,000 successful repairs in the past three years, the uBreakiFix model has proven to be a winner for its customers.
