About our CEO
Cedrik Whittaker
Born in Chicago, Cedrik is a 4 year Army Veteran that comes from an extensive military family. After his military service in the Army as an intelligence analyst, he found himself lost without direction and too proud to ask for help.
He was eventually hired by a nonprofit "Leave No Veteran Behind" and soon learned about the various benefits available to Veterans and their families.
He was able to utilized these benefits and change the trajectory of his life. He thought about other Veterans like himself that were living with injuries sustained by the Military the caused difficulty with his quality of life.
Arts By Ced was originally created so Cedrik could support himself in graduate school by selling his paintings. It eventually grew into a platform for events that specialized in Veteran vendors and artist. He began to utilize his knowledge about Veteran benefits to help the Veterans he came in contact with. After successfully helping hundreds of Veterans acquire their benefits in multiple States, he decided to acclimate this skill to his business.
