Craig Harris ; minister, musician, composer, poet, illustrator, cartoonist, and graphic designer.
Victor Jaskot; musician, composer, playwright, illustrator, cartoonist, graphic designer, and actor

Craig first meet Vic when he was hired by an ad agency. Vic was working for the ad agency as their creative director. He was the original owner of this company and was now working semi retired and pursuing other creative interests. They hit it off and found they had a lot in common. Both Vic and Craig have their own personal beliefs in God and Christ and both are modern day Renaissance men. The world of art, be it in music, painting, cartooning, writing, acting, the whole gambit of the creative mind, has always been a first priority for them.

After a couple of years they both had moved on but they had stayed in touch. During that time a possible project for creating a children's magazine came up for Vic. He gave Craig a call and asked him if he would be interested in doing a cartoon strip for this project. Craig came back with "The Teamwork Kids". Though the project was put on hold both never forgot The Teamwork Kids.

Craig spent several years working for a company in the field of child enrichment programs . During that time he illustrated over forty published Small Readers children's books. Shortly after that project had finished Craig and Vic got to talking about The Teamwork Kids and getting them back up to the front burner. The creative ideas started to fly. They began meeting on a regular basis at The White Castle for "power lunches" and the ideas have been pouring out ever since.

For nearly six years Craig had been taking the required classes through his church and has become an ordained minister. His comments on this path; "I can only say in all honesty, that I truely love God with all my heart. I wish only to serve mankind with God as my Boss. My path into ministry is but the beginning and it is this journey that is my goal "

With The Teamwork Kids already having been conceptualized for a children's magazine, coupled with Craig having worked as an illustrator in the field for child enrichment programs, his current studies in his faith, along with Vic's deep religious and spiritual convictions, and abundant creative talents, it only seemed natural to take The Teamwork Kids into a direction about children and their spiritual adventures in faith.

As a musician and composer Craig is currently playing in a band (fun time) in the New York area and is composing music for the dance company, Six Degrees. Craig has been writing music for many venues including children's music. Noble Pursuits will be including this avenue to a great degree.

Vic recently played an angel in the movie "Believe" an independent film by John Salvatrelli. Over the years Vic has worked with a lot of heavy hitters creating jingles, writing commercials, graphic designing and developing shows for such names as Rolls Royce, Fiat, The New York Yankees, Tex Ritter, just to name a few. Vic has been performing as a bugler with the Holy Name Cadets, Garfield Cadets, and other prominent Drum Corp Bands, performing in many parades and competitions. Vic has built several successful businesses over the years with a passion for developing new and needed services.
