ABOUT JEFFREY D. SHORT

I was born in Meridian, Mississippi on October 24, 1961, as the fifth child of eight. My passion for drawing began at the age of nine, and by fourteen, I had caught the attention of an art school in Minneapolis, the same institution attended by Charles M. Schulz, the iconic cartoonist behind the Peanuts comic strip. Despite the opportunity, my parents opposed my attendance at the school due to the distance. I graduated from West Kember High School in 1980 and was offered an art scholarship at Scuba Junior College in Mississippi, which I declined to join the Navy.
In the Navy, I served as an Electrical Mechanical Equipment Repairman Engineer, allowing me to travel to various countries such as the Philippines, China, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Korea, and Australia. It was during my travels that I began designing my own clothing, which was manufactured in the Philippines and Hong Kong when I was just twenty years old.
Fast forward forty years later, I created Botail Neckwear, a distinctive hybrid tie that combines the elements of a bowtie and necktie into a single, unified design. The creation of Botail marked a significant milestone in my design journey, and it continues to be a testament to my artistic vision and creativity.
