MICAH WHITSON is a modern-day renaissance man. We have known he and his wife Marianna since we moved to Boston in 2011. We have grown together and raised our kids side by side. Micah is someone with immense creativity and dedication – his talent inspires, and his work connects. Each project demonstrates a passion for craft and love of place. Micah’s creative direction has led him through advertising, graphic design, and healthcare. He and his wife founded the Old Try in 2011 with the ambition to connect people to their southern roots through letterpress prints. He is someone who works a full-time job and then works a full time job. Simply put, whatever he touches reveals a hidden potential, its truest form.

In 2020, in the midst of a pandemic Micah took on yet another challenge – the MS State Flag design. Where his “Great River Flag” was so successful that he co-authored the final version. Yet another accolade for a person who lives beyond acclaim or recognition – he works hard because that’s what he knows best. A great person, father, and friend. Here is Micah Whitson and his lesson, "Guard your time", let’s see what he can teach us. Here we go.
