John Fernando

Chief Executive officer

John is a native of New Mexico where he has resided for the past 40 years. Having grown up on a cattle ranch in Northeastern New Mexico, he was raised being very accustomed to livestock and working long hard hours doing physically demanding labor. These two components prompted his interests in physical education and history. In 1999 John received his Masters degree with a double major in History and Physical education from New Mexico Highlands University. He has been a History and P. E. teacher for the past 15 years at several school districts in New Mexico. His combined experiences on the ranch coupled with his love of History of the old west have allowed him to develop and create the iconic cartoon characters and story lines for "The Adventures of Billy the Kitty and Dog Holliday".  This product line was the catalyst in launching Dream Ranch Productions where he helps other product creators achieve their dreams.
