Jay (Bird) Thompson was born and raised in Rock Hill, SC and grew up drawing and playing sports. After graduating from Clemson University he pursued one of his passions of impacting lives as Camp Director of Camp Cherokee, the Upper Palmetto YMCA’s summer resident camp. Eight successful years later, he “retired” in his prime to seek adventure in the world. With nothing but a backpack in tow, Jay spent a year traveling the globe, immersing himself in new cultures, meeting interesting people, and learning more about himself than he ever knew existed. Seventeen countries and a thousand memories later, Bird is back in the Carolinas. He is currently living in Charlotte, NC and establishing his business, Bird LLC. He plans to use his company to achieve his life’s passion: impacting people in a positive way. Through the two departments, he wants his art to inspire and reflect, and his fitness/wellness programs to improve your lifestyle and attitude!
