| Robert and Gail Gupton, owners of Video/Graphics,
opened their business in 1987 from their home where they still operate. Robert has been
involved with professional photography, video production and art for over 35 years and has
enjoyed bringing memories back to life for people for the last 16 years. Click here to see their business,
www.videographics.net With their lives drastically changed from a severe auto accident in
1982, opportunities evolved enabling Robert to continue his creative talents with his
background in advertising, marketing, and public relations and allowed Gail to fulfill her ambitions of
helping others with a worthwhile service. Robert is also the founder and director of
Abilities for The Disabled, an organization that helps the disabled start a profitable
home business, getting them off public assistance.
Robert's early background in the 60's and 70's found him
creating advertising
campaigns for companies like Audi who had just been introduced to the United States, Belk
Department Stores. the brand new Hardee's restaurant chain, and political campaigns for
state congressmen. His experience with Capitol Hill Advertising and Public Relations gave
him his foundation for the marketing, advertising, and graphic art skills he now uses in
his web design. Art, photography and video became his hobby and his expertise came through
day and night involvement in his career which he does not consider "work" but
enjoyment. Being self employed for the past 22 years has given him the ability to know the
workings of successful business promotion. All his creative accomplishments take on that
little extra "shine" of experience.
In 1978, Robert turned down an appointment to the U.S.
Department of Commerce, choosing to start his own company, Gupton Marketing Services. His main desire became one
of helping others become successful in business. Some may call him an entrepreneur, an
artist, a writer, a businessman, or marketing expert, but he says he is just happily
living his purpose utilizing the talents he was born with.

At age 57, Robert
says he has done most everything he has wanted to do and now enjoys helping and watching
others become the success he has experienced. He and Gail are also spiritual teachers and
have helped people from all over the world through their spiritual web site, Beyond Prayer
and Meditation.
Robert and Gail have both had many articles about their business
published in magazines like U.S Art and Small Business Opportunities as well as Internet
Day. Robert had a solo art show at Emory University in 1994 exhibiting his exclusive
Electronic Art.
