Stone Ward Launches In-House Video Production Company

Mark Fonville

Senior Art Director/Designer

The best advice I ever received was:
Shower the people you love with love (JT).
My mentor is:
Jackie Roberson and Wendell Chessir.
My favorite thing at home is:
My Klipsch Heresy loudspeakers.
Very few people know I:
Play hymns on guitar for my sons at night.
My last meal would be:
Crab Cakes from Cafe Pacific -- Highland Park, a cup of my gumbo, Filet Mignon from Larry's -- Houston, Cain Cuvet NV3 from Larry and Millie's... nevermind, that's gone, a baguette and Ishtara cheese from Boulevard with Kalamata olives, Lynn's Black Truffle Risotto, Kim's fresh spinach/strawberry/balsamic salad with my Parmesan crisps, and my son Tyler's instant chocolate pudding. And an Arturo Fuente cigar from my brother Dale, shared with my brothers. The thing is, if I didn't die eating all that, it would at least prolong whatever fate I was facing.
Three people at my dream dinner would be:
God, my wife Kim and Bob Steel.
The historical figure I most admire is:
Ronald Reagan.
If I've learned one thing it is:
Don't take yourself so seriously. (Still learning.)
First car:
1962 Ford Fairlane 500.
First beer:
Miller Lite, 1984, at college (it was a long time ago, I needed the money).
Web site I cannot live without:
eBay.
Favorite thing at an amusement park:
The Shockwave at Six Flags Over Texas (medium-sized double loop rail coaster).
