Culture isn’t defined by empires or algorithms. It is built across three indelible artifacts: Home, Art & Family.

  • HOME: More than shelter—it is the spatial anchor of modern existence. The stone, timber, and proportion where private life takes root, far from the fleeting noise of the daily churn.
  • ART: More than decoration—it is human emotion made permanent. The visual and acoustic soul that transforms raw architecture into a living chronicle of our deepest values.

  • FAMILY: The bloodline and tribe that give space its purpose. The ultimate elevating force that turns temporary dwellings into generational legacies.

Educator, Advocate, and Negotiator: As an environmental science teacher to grades 1-10 and an instructor in sustainable business at Gateway College, Schappert passionately imparts knowledge and values to the next generation. His expertise goes beyond the classroom, as he led a master's class in elementary education at Yale Peabody, emphasizing the power of entertainment as an educational tool using the captivating BIOS WaterCar. Schappert's negotiating skills, honed through collaboration with the Secret Service, showcase his ability to navigate complex situations. He played a pivotal role in convincing international bank fraud criminals to come to the U.S. for their arrests, a testament to his resilience and persuasive prowess.

Home, Art & Family is looking for 100 elite artisans who never want to pay for advertising again.

THE VISION:

Home, Art, & Family explores how the human soul finds its highest expression within the sanctuary of the home. We decode the psychological, emotional, and spiritual systems connecting the spaces we inhabit with the lineages we protect.

Built for the design-obsessed vanguard—from visionary renters to sovereign estate owners—we exist to ground family legacy, elevate the spirit through art, and claim the home as an unyielding fortress.

The Home, Art, & Family Group is expanding, and we are recruiting global talent: writers, designers, editors, contractors, artists, and business owners. We are building an online magazine that is already live, alongside a print edition gaining steady traction.
