LIFESTYLE LETTER
Welcome to June, Midlothian! Summer approaches! As we’re closing out the school year and planning our getaways, we are feeling the warmer weather and the promise of swimming pools, beaches, and destinations that bring us closer to families, friends, and loved ones around the country and our world. We’re especially thankful this month for Father’s Day and how each of us can look back and remember the powerful influence that male role models have had in our lives; whether in our families of origin or of our choosing, we relish the good times and powerful lessons that have built character, strength of purpose, and even faith. Personally, my grandfather was the quintessential man who embodied love, hope, endurance, grace, and peace: I know I’m forever grateful for him and his love for me. With that, we welcome you to the Gentlemen’s Issue! This month is full of cool dude food, amazing businessmen and art, fashion ideas for the summer (whether in the boardroom or the patio), and even axe throwing (who knew that so many lessons could be learned)! As we learn and grow in this community, it’s invaluable having those around you that can provide expertise beyond our scope that can teach us and broaden our perspectives of life, love, and creativity- we feel like this issue captured this essence very well, and we are excited to hear what you think! We hope you’ll enjoy the beginning of summer, and that you’ll stay encouraged and inspired by this wonderful community. Happy Father’s Day!

Axes &
Bros How to Stay Sharp in Today’s Business World
Midlothian Lifestyle brought together some of our favorite guys for an evening at Stumpy’s Hatchet House in Richmond. While putting their axe throwing skills to the test, the conversation turned to staying adaptable in our every-changing world of business. These professionals know what it takes to not just survive, but to thrive in their industries. We asked them to share how they stay mentally sharp and always honing their skills. Here’s what they had to say.

Da i ly Rout i ne s to Keep You r P rofe s siona l Sk i l ls Sha r p Steven Casupanan of SC Marketing Group and founder of the Colorado Fund for Muscular Dystrophy nonprofit reminds us that, “…it’s important to invest in yourself first if you truly want to make an impact on others.” Integrating continuing personal and professional education into daily work tasks is a strategy utilized by many professionals. Matthew Bricker of Coastal Patio Furniture & Sales shares, “While I’m working on furniture, I listen to audiobooks. I focus my education to business, finance, leadership, sales, and marketing. I am addicted to personal growth.” Justin Kendall of Pestmaster Services adds, “I always spend at least 90 minutes daily on personal development to remain an expert in my space.” Dusty Walker of Freedom Boat Club shares, “I find that writing my goals, both personal and business, is extremely helpful.” “The game-changer for me has been Monday morning Deep Work blocks for strategic thinking and working on the business,” says Steve Perkins, founder of Greenhouse.
P rofe s siona l B enef it s of Aut hent ic it y Naylor Taliaferro of LCR Media knows that owning your authenticity opens doors to new opportunities. “I have been invited to many events to speak at or host and given many products to help grow my business, in exchange for content. “Authenticity is one of our core values, but has also created most of our word-of-mouth growth,” says Steve. Steven agrees, “Having a sense of transparency and ‘being real’ has helped me develop rapport very quickly in all of my business and professional endeavors.”
How to Use You r Sphere of I n f luence “I make it a point to leverage my own social media to keep my sphere aware of what I do,” says Dusty. “In addition, I try to find ways to help them in their own endeavors- without asking for anything in return.”
24
H OT SP OT | L IFE + CU LTURE
Naylor explains, “I look for opportunities that I can connect and work with a brand that will mutually benefit my business and everyone that I influence.” “Providing quality customer service is extremely impactful in so many ways,” says Matthew. “I don’t just answer all their questions, I make sure their experience with us is unlike any other.”
Tu r n i ng O n l i ne Plat for m s to You r Cl ient s’ Adva nt a ge “I have made a whole series of videos posted to YouTube that show all the ins and outs of our service, says Dusty. “These videos also cover common questions that are asked by member prospects.” Matthew explains, “We have many ways to keep in touch with our clients. One major way is our customers can text us. As simple as that sounds it is extremely underutilized by other businesses. I can talk to my customers, in a less formal way then email, all day long.” The shift to more online interactions and activities offers the opportunity to expand the services and benefits available to clients. Justin shares, “We have portals that we can communicate and accept signatures and payments through. Our clients typically do not need to be home for our service unless the specific issue is inside.”
Usi ng M i nd set for Succe s s “Our thinking tends to be framed by our experiences, and if you don’t have your mind management in check, it can work against you and your vision,” says Steven. Naylor agrees, “Mindset is everything. My social media content regularly focuses on staying positive and ways to achieve that.” Steve adds, “I use a system of aligning vision, goals, and weekly priorities so the urgent doesn’t always crowd out what matters and moves the business forward.” “I was a bomb disposal technician in the Army for 10 years with 5 combat deployments overseas, so staying focused and in-control was a matter of life and death,” shares Dusty. “My advice to others would be to create a written plan with step-by-step actions to take towards well defined goals- post that plan on the wall so you can see it every day.” Justin shares, “Having a growth mindset has helped me to accept rejection and move-on. I am able to keep moving toward my goals.” CONTINUED > JUNE 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/M I D LOT HI A N
25
“To completely have a focused vision powered by a positive and unbreakable mindset you must find your WHY,” explains Matthew. “I have my WHY and it will never change, it is rooted deep in my heart, mind, and gut. I will continue to be successful because NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP MY ‘WHY’!!!”
Grow i ng Ot hers’ C on f idence a nd Sk i l ls Steve uses his skills as a business and leadership coach to, “help others get clarity on what they’re uniquely good at, as well as how to structure their time more effectively to use those strengths.” Fostering an environment for personal and professional growth is invaluable to any organization. “I coach and empower my team with the same tools that have made me successful,” says Justin. Dusty provides, “continuous training to my team to ensure they have the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed. I also help them make a written plan on how to meet and exceed their own personal and professional goals.” Networking is another avenue through which to support others. “I make sure I participate in as many opportunities as possible to meet new people,” shares Naylor. “I have a knack for connecting people together that I’ve met over time.”
Tips for A spi r i ng Ent repreneu rs Steve says, “Be intentional with your time and design your ideal calendar! Your time is the most important asset in the business, and it becomes harder to control over time, if you don’t build in habits from the start.” “Stay consistent in everything you do; this isn’t going to happen overnight. Continue to grow, be teachable, and learn,” advises Matthew. Getting your business started can be daunting. “It can feel like you are on an island all by yourself,” says Naylor. “Surround yourself with other entrepreneurs. You are not alone!” Steven recommends, “Find someone that is where you want to be (in business and/or life) and learn as much as you can from them.” And finally, Justin assures us, “There will be challenges and with the right mentors and team in place the dips will be smaller and the trajectory will overall remain upward.” Book an evening of axe and hatchet throwing at Stumpy’s Hatchet House in Richmond for your next birthday or bachelor party, fundraising event, team-building activity, or simply a fun night out.

Guys’ Guide to Fashion Richmond has the honor of being home to one of the top fabric makers in the world. 707 Fine Clothing is known for turning suit styling and wearing into a true art form. A favorite at RVA Fashion Week, 707’s collections make their mark on the runway and off. 707 began as a dream by an immigrant and a passion for the art of tailoring passed down over generations. Born into a family of tailors, 707 founder and master tailor Chandru “Ben” Baxani got his start in the trade in Mumbai, India learning from his mother who was a seamstress. He always aspired to move to the US. When the Vietnam War broke out, Chandru saw it as his opportunity and began tailoring uniforms for the American GIs in South Vietnam. Four years later, he opened his first suit store in Rochester, the tailoring capital of the country at the time. Chandru was denied permanent residency, so he moved to Richmond to be closer to the capital where he could argue his case with a federal judge. Shortly thereafter, 707 was born! Its name is from the store’s original location on Broad Street. Now located a few blocks west, 707 is proud to be one of the remaining businesses still thriving since its days on Broad Street. Chandru’s son, Dayal, joined the family business at nineteen with a mission to continue his father’s legacy. Dayal’s mother also came from a family of suit makers, so one

could say it’s in his blood. He used his mother’s connections in China, meeting with producers, tailors, and factories, to grow his knowledge of tailoring and suit making. 707’s commitment to excellence has enabled the brand to reach the apex of luxury fabric and construction, bringing the art of high-end, custom suits to Richmond. Though they started with men’s suits, 707 has since expanded into women’s suits and apparel thanks to Dayal’s wife, Thao, who spearheaded the women’s line. Every item created at 707 is crafted using the finest fabric and the industry’s best practices. Their attention to detail and unwavering standards is evident in each piece they design.

RACTING HIS EXT
DR. BAXTER PERKINSON IS KNOWN FOR HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN ART AND DENTISTRY, AS WELL AS FOR HIS LOCAL PHILANTHROPY
INNER ARTIST
ARTICLE BY MARY ELLIN ARCH | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JACQUI PHOTOGRAPHY

A RT IST ’S PA LE T T E | ARTS + CULTURE
In the dictionary, next to the entry for “prolific,” there should be a picture of Baxter Perkinson, Jr., D.D.S. Dr. Perkinson, who has enjoyed notable careers in both dentistry and art, admits to sometimes creating 10 paintings a day, 100 a week, and so many over 42+ years as a watercolorist that his attempt to estimate a total – 10,000 – is surely understated. His talent and productivity are even more amazing considering he never had the slightest interest in art until he married and his wife, who has loved art all her life, dragged him to a painting class. “It was her turn,” he grinned, noting that he and Elaine alternate in choosing shared activities. “I picked disco dancing. She picked an art class.” That class, taught by local artist Ellie Cox, in her garage around a Ping-Pong table, changed Dr. Perkinson’s life. “Bless his heart, it was 10 ladies and Baxter,” Elaine, herself a sculptor, laughed, recalling the 10-week class that launched her husband’s art career and ultimately led to the founding of a new arts center that bears the Perkinson name. “I was the only one without art experience,” Dr. Perkinson said. So he sat by himself and took in the instruction. He quickly realized the eye-hand coordination crucial to dentistry lent itself to painting, and discovered an “instant connection” with art. He practiced with intensity: “In those 10 weeks, I probably did a year’s worth of painting.” Ellie Cox’s husband, Gene, became Dr. Perkinson’s framer. From then on, 10 years after graduating from VCU’s dental school in 1970 and opening his first practice at 25, Dr. Perkinson combined dentistry and art. “If you can take a hunk of plastic and make it look like a tooth, you have artistic ability,” Elaine said. Dr. Perkinson echoed that thought: “There’s something innate about it for me.” A tour of the Perkinsons’ elegant four-level Richmond home, set on seven sculpted acres featuring a portion of Pittaway Creek and a picture-perfect view of the James River, is evidence of the good doctor’s artistic proclivity. Every bit of wall space contains framed Perkinson art, including hallways and stairwells; Elaine’s sculptures also are on display. Additionally, the couple exhibit original work by other Virginia painters and sculptors. It’s like living in a museum, which is just the effect the Perkinsons, who visit art museums wherever they travel, wanted. “If the house burned down, I wouldn’t care about the house,” Dr. Perkinson said. “It’s the art. It’s irreplaceable.” He works in a roomy, sunny basement studio, outfitted with two large glass-topped trestle tables, an old sofa, and shelves brimming with art books (“I read every page of every one of them”). Sometimes standing, sometimes perched on a paintstained stool reminiscent of the kind dentists use, he works quickly, making sweeping strokes with a 3-inch brush. While in his early days he sometimes started from a sketch or photograph (as for paintings of a bridge and a city neighborhood) now he goes “straight to canvas,” focusing first on light/dark

contrast and then adding color. “I just start painting, and then I see where it takes me.” French Impressionism is his favorite style, and even a casual observer sees that influence in his landscapes and abstracts. He went through a black-and-white phase after viewing an Ansel Adams exhibit, and studying photography taught him composition. He’s also done watercolor collage (painting bits of paper and then assembling them) and has painted on glass, pressing it against white paper to finish the piece. His newest passion, poured acrylic abstracts, came after he retired from dentistry five years ago, at 72. He felt uncharacteristically bored, and friends suggested a new medium. He briefly considered oil, working with Richmond artist Ed Hatch, but noted, “You
42
A RT IST ’S PA LE T T E | ARTS + CULTURE
can spend weeks doing one oil painting; that’s not me.” He stumbled on acrylics and a much better fit: “It dries overnight, sometimes while you’re still painting. It lends itself to a fast painter.” For all his productivity, Dr. Perkinson has never sold a painting. Instead he gives them away or donates them to local charities, which auction them off, the largest going for as much as $10,000. One such recipient, Trinity Episcopal School, in his neighborhood, has an arts center funded by and named for the Perkinsons. Born poor – he grew up in a four-room house and slept with three brothers in a bunkbed room so tiny they had to get in and out of bed one at a time – sharing his bounty is a priority. He donated $2.5 million to VCU’s new school of dentistry, which bears his name. “I lot of my time is spent supporting VCU,” said Dr.
Perkinson, who served three terms on the school’s board of visitors. So when former VCU President Gene Trani’s assistant, Sue Anne (Sam) Messmer, called him with news of an effort to build an arts center in Chesterfield County, he quickly jumped on board. “It felt like coming home. Chester is like a second home to me,” he said, noting his parents grew up in nearby Matoaca and Colonial Heights, and his dental office there. “It made sense that if I was going to invest in a community, that was the place to do it.” He threw himself into efforts to build the Baxter Perkinson Center for the Arts & Education, which opened in 2021 and displays his and Elaine’s art. “Dr. Perkinson’s love and passion for the arts is infectious!” said Chelsea Buyalos, the center’s executive director. “We are
so grateful for his generosity as we lay the foundation for the Perkinson Center to serve our community for generations to come.” While he’s clearly appreciative of public accolades for his artistic accomplishments, he basks when acknowledged for his contributions to his industry. Four years ago, he was inducted into the Junior Achievement Greater Richmond Business Hall of Fame, noting, “It’s a point of pride to be recognized as a businessman.” It’s especially notable because dentistry, when Dr. Perkinson started, was not typically run in true business fashion. “It used to be ‘mom and pop,’ with the dentist handling patients and his wife, the receptionist,” he recalled. Dr. Perkinson channeled early retail work experience at Sears to break that mold, hiring

hygienists and office staff and delegating duties. He also advertised – unusual for dentistry at the time. And he opened branch offices. After his first in Bon Air in 1974, came Chester four years later, an office in the West End, and so on, at four- to five-year intervals. Now, Dr. Perkinson’s Virginia Family Dentistry operates 15 locations across Richmond and in surrounding Colonial Heights and Powhatan and New Kent counties. “I never thought about building an art career. I did think about building a dental career,” he said. “What I’ve done in Virginia is a model.” And before you ask: Yes, Perkinson originals hang in Virginia Family Dentistry offices, making a pleasant environment for sometimes-apprehensive patients. His work also is reproduced on calendars given to patients. Some newer offices display prints. His pride extends to his family’s accomplishments as he talks enthusiastically about Elaine’s sculpture, and like any parent, boasts about his kids - three dentists, one nurse practitioner – who also are musicians and photographers. Among nine grandchildren, several exhibit artistic tendencies, with one bound for the Appomatox School for Music and Art. Even in retirement, he’s busy. He looks younger and exudes more energy and spark than your typical 77-year-old. How did he do it, and how does he keep up the pace? “I took it one day at a time,” he said. “I was born with an ungodly amount of motivation. It’s not so much that I want to make a difference. I just want to be busy. If I’m awake, I want to be doing something.” How does he want to be remembered? “That I took advantage of my education, that I transferred that to other people, and I made good use of my time.” perkinsoncenter.org vadentist.com
