ARDISHER RADPOUR HORSEMAN AND BUSINESSMAN

CHERISHING OUR VALLEY     2012

While working in my art studio the other day, I found this great picture of Ardisher Radpour when he was "Tommy Trojan" at the University of Southern California. A remarkable horseman, Ardisher is a polo player, actor, sportsman, Persian historian, and San Fernando Valley-based businessman. He is a graduate of Chatsworth High School, Moorpark College, the University of Southern California. He also holds a masters degree in business from California State University Northridge. Ardisher makes his home in Porter Ranch.

One of my favorite places in the city is the Edward L. Doheny Memorial Library at the University of Southern California. Looking directly up to the center of the English inspired ceiling, a visitor is treated to stained glass windows depicting the major universities and colleges of the United States and Europe.
