Go to school.
Get good grades.
Get a degree.
Get a high paying job.

Sound familiar?

It should. It is the script many of us were handed from the beginning. And while that path has created stability and success for many, it is not the only way to build something meaningful. It is not the only way to create impact.

Today, I want to tell you about someone who chose a different route.

Reagan, the founder of Dragon Head Inc., is a visionary entrepreneur based right here in Reno. He specializes in screen printing, live event printing, design, and high level execution that transforms digital ideas into tangible, lasting products.

Highlighting individuals like Reagan on my website genuinely makes me excited because it is people like him who remind me of the phrase “good old fashioned service.” A phrase that comes from a time (my time, LOL) when every single aspect of a business was given attention and care, and when businesses stood for more than just what it sells.  On top of that, he's in the trenches following his dreams no matter what, and that kind of conviction is worthy of some applause.

Reagan has a skill set that can be used in countless ways, from entertainment to branding to scaling your business presence. Hire him to print shirts on demand at your next event. Work with him to design a logo that represents your vision. Put your favorite pet or your favorite person on a shirt.  The possibilities truly are endless.

And Reagan is also one of the most grounded, down to earth creatives you will meet.  He pretty much identifies as a quiet kind of guy, but he's actually one of the easiest people I've ever talked to.

Like many of us, Reagan began on the traditional path. He attended Pratt Institute in New York, one of the most respected art schools in the country. But in 2013, he made a bold decision. He left school and stepped directly into the real world of screen printing.

That decision became the foundation of everything.

The Craft Before the Company

Screen printing became Reagan's discipline.

After leaving Pratt, Reagan went straight to work at a young print shop in New Jersey. The environment was intense. The expectations were high. The lessons were immediate.

He worked under a boss who demanded excellence. The kind of boss who pushes you beyond what you think you are capable of. It was not easy. But it shaped him.  And it helped uncover the life he wanted for himself - a life where he called all the shots and he had only himself to answer to.

At that shop, he printed for high end streetwear brands, sneaker companies, sports teams, and even one off projects for celebrities. Quality was not optional. It was drilled in from day one.

How cool would this logo be on a sweatshirt?!?

And he never forgot it.

In 2017, after visiting Los Angeles, Reagan realized that if he wanted to take his art career further, he needed to be where the competition was strongest - LA.

At T-Shirt Lab, he stepped into a growing shop and eventually handled nearly every aspect of screen printing operations. Art school gave him the foundation. The Jersey shop gave him grit. LA refined his execution.

By 2024, he had landed in Reno with a new mindset. He had outgrown the limitations of being an employee and recognized that if he wanted to build a life beyond paycheck to paycheck, he would need to build something of his own.

As an illustration artist and graphic designer, he finds particular satisfaction in transforming digital concepts into tangible products at scale. Though he admits he is not a handyman and would be lost under the hood of a car, screen printing offers him the perfect balance of tools, art, and manual labor. It is a craft that allows him to feel both creative and capable, a fusion that ultimately defines Dragon Head INC.

The Reno Business Insight You Can’t Ignore

Reno is growing.  Opportunities stretch as wide as the mountain ranges surrounding the city. But growth alone does not guarantee visibility. Today, strong products are only the beginning.

Years ago, visibility meant placing an ad in a newspaper or on the radio. Gatekeepers controlled exposure.  Now, platforms like YouTube, Instagram, Google, and Yelp allow anyone to share their message. But access does not equal impact.

You need vision first.
Then strategy.
Then execution.

That is where branding comes in.  Branding is the story you tell, the mission you stand for, and the feeling people associate with your name.

When you think of Apple, you think innovation and simplicity.
Nike, grit and determination.
Disney, magic and storytelling.

Strong brands create identity.

Dragon Head Inc. exists to help businesses be seen and remembered.

Why I Think You'll Love Working With Him

Talent matters.  But so does character.  After spending time with Reagan, what stands out just as much as his skill is how easy he is to work with. He is professional without being stiff. Confident without ego. Intentional without arrogance.

He listens.
He cares about the end result.
He treats every project, big or small, with respect.

And make no mistake, kindness does not mean submission. Reagan knows his value. He understands his craft, and he is worth every penny.

As Dragon Head Inc. grows, he is bringing more local creatives into the fold, supporting talent and building community.

Final Thoughts

We are constantly bombarded with products and services everywhere we turn. It is easy to scroll past, tune out, or assume everything is the same. But every now and then, a business stands out for the right reasons.

I wanted to take the time to support Dragon Head Inc. because I truly believe it offers more than just a product. It offers an experience. It offers intention. It offers craftsmanship.

The businesses that take the time to understand your vision and put in the work to bring it to life are the ones that rise above the noise. They are the ones that leave a lasting impression.

Reno’s creative future is bright.

And I cannot wait to see what you create with this talented, driven, and genuinely good human.

To Reagan and all the aspiring entrepreneurs that have the courage and boldness to carve your own path… to those who cheer on the underdogs and believe in them wholeheartedly - thank you for leading the way, thank you for your support, and thank you for being here!

Q & A With Reagan

1.  What’s a “secret talent” you have that your customers would be shocked to know about?

My secret talent is that I can wiggle my ears. LOL

2.  What’s one thing you wish someone had told you before starting your business?

This isn’t the slightest bit easy. 

I worked at a shop where all day I said to myself, “What’s this guy’s issue? Why isn’t he doing A, B, and C? I can do this and his work at the same time.”

I was wrong. The printing and artwork may have been easy, but sales, automating systems, bookkeeping, social media management, and all of this extra stuff really is the hard work.

3.  If your business had a theme song, what would it be and why?

My business theme song is “Rabbit Run” by Slim Shady. Most of Eminem's old stuff has the perfect amount of anger, humor, self deprecation and undeniable confidence.

I can relate to the “beating myself up and then building myself back up” that a lot of his older music speaks to.

4.  What’s the most unusual source of inspiration you’ve ever used for your business ideas?

I don’t know how unusual it is, but my main source of inspiration is thinking about clocking in for someone else and limiting myself to an hourly wage. The fear of coming this far only to fail is greater than any other. That fear is my inspiration.

Valentine's Crafting @ The Holland Project | TICKETS

The Origins of Valentine's Day

Once upon a time, during the Roman Empire, love was not always encouraged. Emperor Claudius the Second believed single men made better soldiers, so he outlawed marriage for young men, convinced that romance weakened their loyalty to Rome. A priest named Valentine quietly disagreed. He believed love and commitment were sacred, so he continued to marry couples in secret. When his actions were discovered, Valentine was arrested and imprisoned for defying the emperor’s orders.

While imprisoned, legend says Valentine formed a close bond with the jailer’s daughter, who visited him during his confinement. Before his execution, he is said to have written her a letter signed “Your Valentine.” Whether fact or folklore, this simple gesture became a lasting symbol, one that echoes all the way to modern day Valentine’s Day.

How much of this story is historical truth and how much has been shaped by time, I do not really know. But what I do know is this. Love has always found a way. Love disrupts. Love persists. And love is something worth celebrating every single day. Love for yourself, for life, for friends and family, for strangers, for those you admire from afar, and even for this shared consciousness that allows us to experience the most powerful feeling we know how to describe as love.

As February approaches, crush gram order forms and Valentine’s Day event flyers begin making their way home with my kids, and it instantly brings me back. Back then, Valentine’s Day felt magical. It was a chance to let Cupid do the dirty work, quietly confessing crushes, discovering unexpected admirers, and experiencing the thrill of connection in its most innocent form.

While the holiday has evolved over time, something tells me we are just as lost today as we have always been throughout history, only a little more groomed, with fancier underwear, better gifts, more chocolate, and a packed calendar of events. LOL.

Won't you look at that - an opportunity to support some local businesses.

Even in a world dominated by screens and constant distractions, our most basic human need for connection has not changed.  Valentine’s Day reminds us that a simple gesture of love, whether a note, a smile, or a kind word, can bridge the gap between hearts in ways no screen ever can.

Valentine’s Day remains a time to celebrate love in all its forms, whether that means honoring cherished traditions or creating entirely new ones. There are countless ways to make the day, or even the entire month, feel intentional and meaningful.

And while February often shines a spotlight on couples, love is not exclusive. We are constantly presented with polished, idealized versions of romance. Happy couples, curated moments, picture perfect lives filtered through social media. But real life is far more complex. For many, this season can stir feelings of sadness, whether from heartbreak, loss, loneliness, or simply feeling overlooked during a month saturated with displays of affection.

That is why Valentine’s Day deserves to be redefined. Not as a holiday reserved for romance alone, but as a celebration of love in all its beautiful, imperfect forms. Whether you are single or partnered, this is an opportunity to honor the love you have for yourself, the relationships that ground you, the friendships that sustain you, and even the kindness you extend to strangers. Love is universal. Love is powerful. Above all, love is what keeps the world moving forward.

Whether you are here to discover Valentine’s Day events or simply looking for creative ways to embrace the final stretch of winter, you have come to the right place. I cannot get enough of Reno or the life we are fortunate to live here.  Life is full of beauty and discovery, and in Reno, it truly is something special.

If you haven't already caught on - I LOVE YOU, Reno.  So much that I'd share my last bit of champagne chocolate with you... But don't test me. LOL

Peace, love, and kindness.

Notes

Updates: I’ll be back to fine-tune and update this guide with anything I missed or that pops up later. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s something you’d like me to add.

Follow me on Instagram for more gems, local businesses, and more that have not yet made it onto my blog.

The first part of my winter guide may still helpful for finding local shops, winter activities, and more.

Ticket Availability: When it comes to events, secure your tickets as early as possible as they tend to sell out quickly.

Arrival Tips: To ensure a smoother experience, consider arriving early to events. This not only helps with finding good parking spots but also minimizes wait times.

Winter Advisory: Check out my winter travel guide to stay on top of hazardous weather conditions (especially if you frequently travel in and out of town).  Also, days & nights in fall can get super chilly.  Stay on top of hourly weather (AccuWeather is great) & dress appropriately for outings.

I have had the honor of meeting dedicated staff members and speaking with them about their operations, including both the challenges and successes they experience daily. Knowing there is an organization so deeply committed to protecting animals and giving them every opportunity to live full and meaningful lives is truly admirable. I am grateful for their work and proud to support their mission.

-Description from Instagram

Nook & Cranny Book Wagon began as a tiny bookshop on wheels, a lovingly restored vintage trailer brought back to life by Emily, owner of Nook & Cranny, and her father. Together, they spent countless hours restoring, troubleshooting, and patiently navigating permits to turn the old trailer into a magical traveling bookstore. 

At the shop, you’ll find both new and used reads that deliver priceless knowledge all the same, along with fun extras like bookmarks, small toys, and cute totes. Emily recently opened a cozy brick and mortar nook inside Atelier Reno, making it easy for families to stop by any time, but you can still catch the wagon it at the rad year-round Riverside Farmer's Market every Sunday (follow the wagon’s Instagram for updates). Though smaller in size, the space is packed with beloved classics and unique, thoughtful reads that teach life’s lessons in the most beautiful and exciting ways.

This fellow Reno mom is passionate about making reading fun, exciting, and accessible to kids of all ages, and she has made it her mission to put books into little hands wherever she can.  I love supporting moms who turn passion into purpose, especially in Nevada, where so many kids are still behind in literacy. Thoughtful, affordable book gifts like these truly matter.

"Reno Taiko Tsurunokai brings the ancient art of Japanese taiko drumming to our community. Traditional taiko drums have been used in warfare, martial arts, religious ceremonies, and festivals throughout Japan for over 1,400 years. The beating of the taiko drum echoes the beating of the heart and the rolling of thunder. The powerful sounds of taiko drums will transport your students on a cultural adventure through Japanese history and customs. Tsurunokai performs traditional Japanese folk music and original compositions. Students will be invited to participate in drumming and dancing during the performance.

Tsurunokai was founded in 1997 by Rieko Shimbo, a Japanese native who studied traditional music and dance in Tokyo before moving to the U.S. Rieko has assembled a group of talented and dedicated taiko drummers whose credits include performances at many local and regional festivals and art exhibitions. She has been teaching and performing in our community for over 25 years and is passionate about introducing people to the rich culture of Japan through the art of taiko."

"Step right up to a charming little chaos. Pretty Little Freak Show is a fearless celebration of femininity, weirdness, and the beauty in being “too much.” Featuring dancers, circus characters, specialty acts, and a cast of unapologetic misfits, this show flips the classic freak-show trope on its head. No damsels. No stereotypes. Just powerful women telling stories through movement, satire, and raw emotion. From dark clowning to tasteful chaos to emotional vulnerability, each act explores a different side of what it means to be a modern femme—messy, magical, and magnificently strange. Pretty. Freaky. Powerful. ⚠️ Show Disclosure Pretty Little Freak Show is rated PG-13. Please note: Some songs contain uncensored lyrics Strobe lighting effects will be used during the performance Guests 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian Viewer discretion is advised."

Betty's Thrift & Craft Fair 

*Location:

Betty's

395 S Wells Ave, Reno, NV 89502

*Facebook

*Instagram | Betty's | Vampire Penguin 

One time, my friend sold her Vampire Penguin desserts in the parking lot of Betty’s, which naturally led me inside to meet whoever said yes to her brand new dessert truck. I found genuinely kind people behind the counter and a shop full of treasures, including handmade pup goods, vintage finds, accessories, unique pieces, and more. I ended up chatting with these lovely people about black plastic bags and their injecting a little mystery into life.  Zines? Groceries? A pregnancy test? Who knows what might be tucked inside a black plastic bag, but that’s exactly the kind of little mystery the Betty’s crew seems to celebrate.  I just love fun people.  At Betty's, these are the  kind of vibes & people you can expect.

I noticed there wasn’t a description for this event, so I called the shop to get the details and wanted to share them here. There will be tarot readings (donations accepted), food trucks (yes, Vampire Penguin will be back), a local artist with patches and a sewing machine to customize whatever your heart desires, hand-blown glass beads, and a DJ setting the atmosphere. Plus, the whole store will be 30% off! The coolest thing I learned from my call is that their #1 goal is having fun. Of course, sales are great, but their main focus is making sure everyone enjoys themselves. Business is always better when it’s full of fun.

Please check back.  I'll add some pictures from my visit once I find them.

*Movie Trailer

"The new Hollywood feature film MIMICS is holding its world premiere at the Pioneer Center on February 11th ahead of its national theatrical release. The evening will include a media red carpet with attendance by the stars of the film. After the film screening, the cast and creative team will engage in a live talkback Q&A on our historic stage.

The world premiere of MIMICS is more than a film screening—it’s a once in a lifetime event. Conceived by hometown kids Kristoffer Polaha and Marc Oakley, MIMICS is a true labor of love, made in Reno and about Reno. Delivering fun, fright, and romance, the film tells the story of down-on-his-luck impressionist Sam Reinhold, who makes a dangerous pact with Fergus—a wicked, strings-attached puppet that promises to propel him to stardom, only to unleash a nightmare that threatens the safety of those he loves. Set against the spirit, grit, and personality of Reno, the film brings a deeply personal story back to where it all began.

Be part of the first audience to view MIMICS ahead of its national release!"

"We’re always down for an excuse to sip something delicious from La Condesa, shop handmade and local, and hang with our favorite people. Galentine’s is the night we make it happen.

• Henna Tattoos by Astrid Carolina because you deserve to be adorned
• A Card-Making Station for notes of love, sass, or both
• A DIY Bouquet Bar because who says someone else has to bring the flowers
• A Bath Salt-Making Station with Hemlock Park to mix your own soak-worthy self-care

Tickets aren’t required, but they do make things a little sweeter. Snag one in advance to claim your perks.

Tickets include:
• One cocktail or mocktail from La Condesa Eatery
• A special Galentine’s sticker and love note
• 10% off storewide at Wyld Market Collective

All other goods, experiences, and treats will be available for purchase throughout the evening.

"Step into the dark. The spirits are waiting.

Vegas Afterlife: The Investigation Experience takes you beyond the ghost stories and into the heart of a real paranormal investigation. Using professional-grade ghost hunting equipment, you’ll explore one of Nevada’s most haunted locations under the guidance of seasoned investigators.

This is not a staged attraction — it’s the real thing. Every creak, whisper, and shadow could be your next piece of evidence. You’ll have the chance to work hands-on with tools like spirit boxes, EMF detectors, and more, while uncovering the chilling history that still echoes through the walls.

Whether you’re a first-time ghost hunter or a seasoned investigator, The Investigation Experience promises a night you won’t soon forget.

Itinerary
Check-In & Welcome
Arrive at the meeting location where our team will greet you, confirm your tickets, and go over safety guidelines. You’ll meet your lead investigator and get a quick rundown of the night ahead.

Historical & Paranormal Briefing
Before stepping into the dark, we’ll share the chilling history of the location — the key events, tragedies, and unexplained phenomena that make this site one of the most haunted in Nevada.

Equipment Orientation
Learn how to use professional-grade ghost hunting tools such as EMF meters, spirit boxes, digital recorders, and thermal imaging cameras.

Guided Investigation
Follow your investigator through multiple active hotspots on the property. You’ll participate in live EVP sessions, ITC communication, and environmental sweeps, documenting any evidence along the way.

Free Investigation Time
Break into smaller groups to explore designated areas at your own pace. This is your chance to focus on locations that intrigue you most and experiment with the tools.

Evidence Review & Closing
Regroup to share findings, compare experiences, and discuss what we encountered during the night. Our team will close the session with final thoughts — and a reminder that some spirits like to follow you home…"

"The Virgil Supper Club Series: Sea • Land • Air

Sea – Coastal Supper Club Experience
Friday, February 20th, 2026 | 5:00–10:00 PM

Step into an evening of Spanish coastal elegance as The Virgil launches its new themed Supper Club series: Sea, Land, Air — held every third Friday of the month.

Our first installment, Sea, is inspired by the breezy, luminous flavors of the Mediterranean shoreline: citrus, olive oil, crusty breads, seafood-forward courses, and warm, minimalist coastal design.

Guests will enjoy five thoughtfully composed courses, each available with an optional pairing flight—cocktail, wine, or non-alcoholic—crafted to elevate every bite.

At the heart of the evening, Chef Colin will present a live Paella Show in the center of our farmhouse-style supper square, surrounded by Grecian blues, terracotta warmth, rattan textures, olive trees, and candlelit patina décor. (Live jazz on the balcony is planned, pending final confirmation.)

This is an intimate, limited-capacity gathering designed for those who love food, atmosphere, and unforgettable pacing.

Five-course Spanish-inspired coastal menu

Heavenly Village is the perfect spot to celebrate Valentine's Day, or really any day you want to make special. Life, atmosphere, views, and charm... the village is definitely one of my favorite places to hang, despite being located in a touristy area.  One big reason - the VIEWS & VIBES are unlike anything else. 

Some ideas for an ideal trip: a scenic gondola ride (with or without skis & snowboards, $$$), a delicious dinner & magic show at super vibey The Loft, ice skating, & live entertainment (Base Camp Pizza has daily performances). And of course, you have plenty of food, drink, & dessert and unique shops to take advantage of.

If you're looking to go all out, staying at the village is an amazing experience. I’ve stayed at Grand Residence Club in the past, and it was unreal. Walking around the village with no time limit made me feel like I was truly on vacation.  Another time, my brother stayed at Marriott’s Timberlodge, and it was just as incredible. Their outdoor communal area pool is so spacious with tons of space to splash around and hang (fire pit and vibes included), plus they’re connected to Fire & Ice Grill, a fun & immersive hibachi buffet-style restaurant. If you want to be right in the heart of all the action, this staycation is for you, with direct access into the village from the back entrance. 

Dessert options at the village:
