In the summer of 1999, Pope began dabbling in abstract murals, primitive art, and tree sculptures. He began showing in art galleries, was well reviewed, and has enjoyed an acclaimed career. During the winter of 2006 and 2007, Pope realized that his true calling in life was the service of others, and he is dedicated to the cause of under-privileged children.
