Ariav is a former fashion and beauty photographer who was recruited to a21 in 2000 when it was a start-up company looking for acquisition opportunities. The company three years ago acquired Jacksonville-based SuperStock, which provides photos and other images to the creative opportunity.

“I’m more of the landscape architect than the groundskeeper,” he said. “I wanted to go back to a start-up mode.”

“What we have is a potential franchise,” he said. “If it’s successful, we will start franchising.”
